ORDER

The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

Respondents refused admission against reserved quota of five percent towards sons, daughters and
spouses of employees of university. On appeal Supreme Curt held that there was no rational behind
for such reservation as it does not have a reasonable nexus with object sought to be achieved by
University. Further held that such reservation was violative of Article 14 and University cannot give
preferential treatment to a class of person without there being any justification for same.
