The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Hindu College to provide details on seats reserved under the extracurricular activities (ECA) or sports quotas for the academic year 2025-26.
Justice Vikas Mahajan directed the college administration to reserve a seat under the quota while it decides a plea seeking its allocation to a lawn tennis player.
Advocate Jeetender Gupta, the counsel for the petitioner who claims to be a gold medallist at CBSE nationals, said the college is not implementing the stipulated 5% seat reservation for the ECA and sports quota in the undergraduate admission process as mandated by Delhi University.
Mr. Gupta said that based on the number of seats available at the college, it is required to reserve at least 47 seats for the ECA and sports quota. However, only 20 seats (10 for ECA and sports quota each) were reserved by the college, he argued.
Further, under the sports quota, the reservation is only for three sports — basketball, cricket and football, Mr. Gupta added.
