BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY . vs ROHINI SINGH — C.A. No. 6340/2001

Case Summary: Banaras Hindu University v. Rohini Singh (C.A. No. 006340/2001) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed BHU's appeal on September 12, 2001, modifying the High Court's judgment regarding the university's reservation policy for M.Ed. seats. The Court directed BHU's Academic Committee to formulate a revised institutional reservation policy based on principles established in A.I.I.M.S. Students Union v. A.I.I.M.S., with a two-month deadline for completion and publication. Key Issue: The High Court had struck down BHU's reservation criteria in Clause 16(a) of its information bulletin as violative of Constitutional Articles 14 and 15. The Supreme Court agreed the criteria required modification but allowed the university to reformulate the policy according to constitutional principles rather than invalidating it entirely.
