Govt. told to provide scholarship equally and as per population census
A 2015 Kerala government order allocating the merit-cum-means scholarship for minority communities to Muslims and Latin Catholic Christians and Converted Christians together in the 80:20 ratio was struck down by the Kerala High Court.
A Division Bench of the court consisting of Chief Justice S. Manikumar and Justice Shaji P. Chaly noted that the action of the State government in subclassifying the minorities and providing the scholarship at 80:20 ratio was legally unsustainable.
The court also directed the State government to pass requisite and appropriate orders for providing the scholarship to the members of the notified minority communities equally and in accordance with the latest population census available with the State Minority Commission.
