Scholarships for Minorities: Why 4 lakh students did not get scholarships last year, Bombay HC asks govt.

THE BOMBAY High Court in response to the PIL filed by MPJ activist Razaullah Khan has issued notices to the union and state ministries for Minority Affairs to explain why at least 4 lakh students from religious minorities entitled for pre-matric scholarships were left out in 2015-16.

The Aurangabad bench of the High Court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation filed by Latur corporator Rahul Maknikar and activist Razaullah Khan. Justice RM Borde and Justice Sangitrao Patil gave the respondents, including the state Minority Development department and Education and Sports department, four weeks to respond.
