Justice J N Patel started hearing the case following a split verdict by the High Court earlier this week after Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar favoured the petitioners and quashed the government resolution. But, Justice A P Deshpande upheld the GR.
The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by a parent of an ICSE student, aggrieved by the newly implemented normalisation policy for the admission to junior colleges.
Chief Justice Kumar in his judgement had restrained the government from acting upon the resolution, but stated that the admissions already given on the basis of the formula should not be disturbed.
Justice Deshpande, on the other hand, said that “the introduction of the statistical formula of “percentile” goes to achieve normalisation of percentage of marks secured by the students of different boards and hence it’s not violative of article 14 of the constitution”.
