Reservation not at odds with merit: SC upholds OBC quota in NEET admissions

Noting that high scores are not the only measure of achievement, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld its Jan. 7 order allowing other backward classes (OBCs) to remain in the 2021-22 NEET undergraduate and graduate admissions.

“The merits must be linked to the social and economic context. The role of reservations cannot be negated in making up for the lag. Reservations are not contradictory to merit, but promote the distributional consequences of social justice,” Justices DY Chandrachud and AS Bopanna said.

The court also announced that the Economically Weakened Section (EWS) criteria for NEET-PG admission will no longer apply and the existing criteria (Rs 8 lakh annual gross income cut-off) will apply for the current year of admission. Intervening at this stage will delay admissions for this year. Therefore, there are no reservation criteria for the 2021-22 batch to be reserved. We are still in the midst of a pandemic. Delays in recruiting physicians can affect the response to the pandemic,” the court said.

The bench said it would be impossible to pass an order on the merits of the policy without hearing from all parties about the material on which the reservations relied and what they identified as “the poorest and the poorest.”

Citing Articles 15(4) and 15(5) that require substantive equality, the Supreme Court stated that “competitive examinations do not reflect the excellence of an individual. They do not reflect the socioeconomic and cultural advantages acquired by certain classes.”

According to the report, Gurucharan Singh informed the police officers that he was on a religious trip and had left his worldly life behind during the interview. The actor has visited gurudwaras in a number of towns recently, including Amritsar and Ludhiana. But later on, he felt he ought to go back home.

The article claims that over the course of their inquiry, the police also discovered that Gurucharan Singh belonged to a group that meditates. He even expressed interest in taking a meditation trip to the Himalayas. A abduction complaint had been filed by the Delhi Police, and an investigation was in progress to locate him.

Concerning Gurucharan Singh’s financial circumstances

Gurucharan Singh reportedly maintained many bank accounts for financial transactions and used credit cards often. It was also discovered by the police that he had over ten bank accounts. According to a report in the Free Press Journal, he took out ₹14,00 from an ATM. He pulled out cash and paid off one credit card with another using credit cards.

Hargit Singh, the father of Gurucharan Singh, recently claimed that he was ignorant of his son’s precarious financial situation. Hargit had stated in an interview with Bombay Times, “I was unaware of my son’s financial circumstances. He never discussed it with me. Thus, I am ignorant of everything.”
