Karnataka’s assembly has passed a bill, which is yet to be given the nod by the legislative council, which would reserve 50% of NLSIU Bangalore's 80 undergraduate seats (and its 50 LLM seats and 50 masters of public policy seats) for students with a strong connection to Karnataka.
The bill, piloted by higher education minister Basavaraj Rayareddy.
Till Now NLSIU is not giving
Domicile reservations.
IT'S HARD TO BE PASSED:-
I think
It will be stayed by the Supreme Court and ultimately be declared unconstitutional as it will be deemed arbitrary and violative of article 14,” "adding that “NLSIU has some special powers" compared to other NLUs.
Points for argument:-
1)
Role of Bar Council of India in setting it up, giving first Rs 5 crores from the BCI Trust which is of entire country's lawyers and not just that of Karnataka.
2)
Supreme Court's involvement in setting up of NLSIU - CJI is its ex-officio Chancellor and not CJ of HC like other NLUs.
3)
Few more like Karnataka Government has not funded it fully but funds have also come from other sources.
And i think how it called dynamic and prestigious and quality of this institution will harm from this.
We are hoping it not to implemented.
NLSIU students association will oppose this with all options.
