The Senior Counsel and Member of Parliament P Wilson has written to VCs of NLUs across the country to remind them for implementing exact state-specific reservations for courses offered by them.
As a reminder to the letter dated December 25, 2021, the Senior Advocate and Member of Parliament P Wilson has written to the Vice-Chancellors of all the National Law Universities (NLUs) across the country and asked them to implement exact state-specific reservations for courses offered by them.
Reportedly, only National University for Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS), Kochi, and Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University (RMLNLU), Lucknow have responded to the earlier letter.
The recent letter reads, “I am deeply saddened to note that barring two National Law Schools- RMLNLU, Lucknow and NUALS, Kochi who responded positively claiming that they are implementing exact state reservations in All India Seats and State/Local Domicile Seats in National Law Schools/University in the courses offered by them, other NLUs have neither responded nor have taken any steps to implement the Constitutional reservations/State reservations for SC/ST/OBCs,” as reported by Bar and Bench.
While citing the recent Supreme Court judgement on 27% Other Backward Classes (OBCs) reservations under All India Quota (AIQ), he has written, "I am citing this judgment only to point out that the Hon’ble Supreme Court had upheld social justice and social inclusion in medical and dental education."
“The failure to implement exact quantum of state SC/ST/OBC’s reservation in All India Seats and State/Local Domicile Seats in NLUs will inevitably result in legal consequences," the letter added.
P Wilson's tweet regarding this letter says, "Today I have sent a reminder letter to all Chief secretaries/Vice chancellors of NationalLawUniversities to implement FY 2022-2023 onwards exact state specific reservations for #SC/#ST/#OBC in All India Seats/State /Local Domicile Seats in all #NationalLawSchools /#Universities"
