Posted on 3rd Jan 2023 04:44 pm by rohit kumar

The Delhi High Court has refused to allow two candidates who have successfully secured admission to Delhi University to interchange their chosen courses and seats. Justice Vibhu Bakhru also rejected his claim that this year's Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) was unconstitutional. Because the changes in the seats sought by the petitioners therein were not acceptable in the context of the allocation system. However, the High Court has asked the authorities to consider the request of those students as a one-time relaxation.

 

The court has stated in the order that this Court does not find any ground to interfere with the CSAS system. The petitioners have no locus standi to seek such relief. However, the Court is of the view that the Respondents Delhi University and St. Stephen's College should be exempted treating it as a one-off case.

 

The court said that the petitioner's challenge to the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) was baseless and there was no reason to believe that it was arbitrary, unfair, and violative of Article 14 or Article 21 of the Constitution. The court clarified that if the petitioners' requests are considered, it will not set a precedent. The court is also of the view that if the rights of other students are not adversely affected, then the respondents i.e. DU and St. Stephen's College should consider the request made by the petitioners.
