‘Can divide society’: Supreme Court stays new UGC rules
Hindustan Times Ranchi
|January 30, 2026
The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the operation of the University Grants Commission’s (UGC) 2026 equity regulations, observing that the new framework was capable of dividing society and could have “dangerous impacts” if exploited by mischievous elements.
The court directed that UGC’s 2012 anti-discrimination regulations will continue to operate for the time being so that complainants are not left remediless.
A bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justice Joymalya Bagchi also issued notice to the Union government and UGC, seeking their responses to three petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the University Grants Commission (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2026.
The matters were listed for further hearing on March 19.
The bench said that “unity of India must be reflected in the institutions of India”, and cautioned that the regulations were capable of being misused and could lead to regressive outcomes.
