    • Express News Service Tags : delhi, St Stephens College case Posted: Tuesday , Oct 14, 2008 at 0106 hrs

    On August 21, the High Court quashed Clause 7 (2) of the Delhi University’s Ordinance XVIII, which gave the varsity the power to appoint principals of all colleges under its jurisdiction. Allowing the college’s petition, the Division Bench of Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice S Muralidhar made it clear that the pertinent clause would not be applicable for Stephen’s, which is a minority institution.

    BiotechnologyBy: Cyril Johnson | 16-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward The article 30 is outdated and has to be scrapped. Its heer nonsense and the spirit of the clause becomes sanctified only when the minorities enjoy this privelege. What is the criteria for identifying a minority? The concerned state Govts. has to decide which community is accepted as a minority. The national average for calculating religious and linguistic minorities has to be scrapped. A case by the Govt. of Kerala regarding the issue still pends in the Hon.supreme court. Hope the inner senses of the Hon.Judges see the reality and come out with some historic judgements.

    SC approves of St. Stephens PrincipalBy: Himanshu | 14-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Dear Editor/readerIt is the handiwork of the ruling Congress. The Court's order is just an eyewash. The courts in India are a mouthpiece of the Congress. Remember the Courts ordered the demolitions in Delhi at the order of the Italian lady....It seems only the life of minorities is precious under this government. Majority it seems are just destined to die in terror attacks. The minority enjoy all the special treatments even if they are antinationals. Even if one minority is killed for their own fault it becomes an all important issue for Congress and fodder scam accused Lallooo. It is time the majority vote this corrupt government out of power, because anyway they are of no importance to it..Himanshu
    appeasement of minoritiesBy: milano | 14-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Tracing the employment pattern of Muslims, the records say that just three percent of IAS officers, four percent of IPS officers and meager 1.8 percent of Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers are from the community. It goes on to say that just 2.2 percent of all bank employees, including of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), are Muslims. Drawing a comparison with Hindus, the records say that while 63.6 percent of Muslims live in non-permanent houses, 55.2 percent Hindus live in similar conditions. 'Thirty percent of Muslims have access to electricity while 43.2 percent of Hindus have access to electricity. (Similarly) 19.4 percent of Muslims have access to piped water against 25.3 percent Hindus,' the records say. The literacy rate of India is at 65 percent, for Muslims it is 59 percent. It is not as low compared to the employment
