Long ago, we had a posting in our list which stated that OBC reservations may have an impact on disabled quota. Assuming that the overall quota can be a certain per cent of the number of seats then all reservations will have to be adjusted within that. So there is possibly a conflict between various categories of reservations which may threaten the very purpose of reservations.

Forwarded message. Vetri. ----- Original Message ----- From: neredimalli annavaram To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 9:17 AM Subject: [jnuvision] update on admissions for disabled at JNU, Hi Group, I am back here again with latest developments happening at JNU regarding the intake of students with disabilities in the current academic year. as planned earlier, today, we met with the deputy registrar, Admissions and later the rectar-1. as many of have expected before, what happened in JNU in the current academic year is very unfortunate. we were finally informed that the very media statement of our Vice-chansellor quoted last year is getting materialised. now, university has begun adopting horrizontal reservation policy, where students with disabilities will be required to compete either in the general category or in their respective caste quotas. the three percent reservation as an independent category has completely been abolished. we were orally informed that the decision to this effect has been taken by the academic council of J.N.U. what is more horrifying is the fact that not even a single eminent professor of total 125 total sitting as honourable members in the Academic council, the highest decision-making body of the premier educational institute in india, has got intellegence to remember the two significant supreme-court orders given very recently. when reviewed in the light of these judicial orders, the present admission policy adopted to provide reservation for persons with disabilities at J.N.U. seems a complete violation of the law of the land. I hope our members can recall what these significant supreme-court verdicts are! by the grace of god's providence, this was what exactly we tried to highlight in the letter we've submitted to the administration on twenty-fifth of this month, in which we clearly stated this judicial position. I know the attachments could not be sent to your mail-box for I was unaware of the security concerns of our group. I uploaded the letter and RTI reply to my web-page, and am providing a direct link for you to be able to download them directly. you can either press enter on the links provided below or copy each of them to your clip-board and paste into your browser's address bar and then press enter. in either of the case, you will be able to download these documents for a comfortable reading. http://amintravel.googlepages.com/letter_toVice-chansellor.pdf http://amintravel.googlepages.com/reply_file.pdf although the facts presented above are quite alarming, nothing to be worried much! each officer we've met with today, is not in a position to claim with self assertion that the decision they've taken is completely justifiable. we've been assured that they are ready to correct themselves, if need arises. what we've now planned is to make that need arise. we couldn't meet the director admissions today as he has already left the office. we'll be meeting him tomorrow and do our last bid before moving to the legal options. we are even planning to meet the vice-chansellor if these officers aren't ready to go for policy change. our members are requested to throw their comments, suggestions and even querries, if any, and cooperate with us at an hour of need. please also let us know if any other legal option is available. hoping for your larger support!
