PIL Before Delhi High Court Alleges Religious Discrimination in Jamia Millia Appointments

The Delhi High Court has sought a response from Jamia Millia Islamia in a Public Interest Litigation alleging religious discrimination in the recruitment of non-teaching staff.

The plea claimed that out of 986 vacancies, nearly 720 appointments were made in favour of candidates belonging to the Muslim community, allegedly violating constitutional principles of equality and fair opportunity in public employment.

Taking note of the allegations, the Court issued notice and sought replies from the university and concerned authorities.
