HC allows Khalsa College to start counselling, but no admission

 The Delhi high court in an interim order has allowed Delhi University’s (DU) Guru Teg Bahadur Khalsa College to commence its counselling process, but said it could not admit students till July 21, when a plea by some teachers against its minority status would be heard.

The college was granted minority status in 2011 and this was challenged by the teachers as well as DU, on whose plea a stay was granted by the High Court in 2012, according to the petition filed by the teachers. 

According to the plea, the University had withdrawn its petition in July last year, saying that it had no objection to the minority status granted to the college.

The issue of whether the college would be bound by the SC/ST Reservation Act would be heard by the court on July 21.
