Now reservation is being provided to the domicile students as well. In a major setback to the state government, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday scratched down the National Law School India University (NLSIU) Amendment Act, 2020 which allowed 25% reservation to domicile students. Passing the judgment, a division bench led by Justice BV Nagarathna said the state government’s role in NLSIU is negligible and that it had no standing to decide on operations of the premier institution. The order said that only the NLSIU executive council is authorized to take such a resolution.

It further stated that when the real NLSUI law was approved, it was apparent that the institution will be an autonomous one at the national level. The bench further stated that if the court allows the state government to exert control, it will point to two power centers in the department, with the governing council already in place. The bill was approved on March 19 earlier this year by the Karnataka legislature and came into effect on April 27.

With this, 25% of seats in the institution were possessed for any student who studied in Karnataka for 10 years or more regardless of his or her mother tongue. Comprehending this law, the NLSUI had expanded its student admission capacity to 120 from 80 in its BA.LLB course. The act was claimed in the High Court by a former student and the Bar Council of India. As part of the arguments, the state government said with the entrance exam for the law school being extremely competitive, talented students from Karnataka will find it hard to compete if they are not from privileged backgrounds.
