Review withdrawal of scholarships for SC/ST students, Madras HC suggests to Centre, TN govt.

The Madras HC made a suggestion to the Centre as well as the State government to reconsider their decision to withdraw grant of post-matric scholarship to SC and ST students.
A Division Bench of Justices could revisit its decision to stop such scholarship for management quota students.
The judges agreed with senior counsel K. Doraisami and V.T. Gopalan, representing a batch of writ petitioners that at times SC/ST students might take up management quota seats.
Authoring the verdict, the senior judge in the Bench wrote: “The Constitution of India also guarantees social upliftment of persons belonging to SC/ST communities."
Despite dismissing the batch of writ petitions the judges left it to the Centre to reconsider its decision within 12 weeks.
