Kochi (Kerala) [India], May 28 (ANI): The Kerala High Court on Friday held that action of the state government in sub classifying the minorities by providing merit-cum-means scholarship at 80 per cent to the Muslim community and 20 per cent to the Latin Catholic Christians and converted Christians cannot be legally sustained.
The division bench comprising Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly ruled that the benefits should be in proportion to the population of the various minorities.
The High Court also asked to take the current census into account. The court's ruling came on a plea filed by Advocate Justin Pallivathukkal.
