After being excluded from the LLM admission process, a student who secured the ninth position in the merit list of Mumbai University (MU) in the LLB program, has approached the Bombay High Court. Bhushan Walunj claims that even though he submitted a non-creamy layer certificate from the state and central governments, his admission was rejected on the grounds that he did not possess a state-level non-creamy layer certificate.
In addition to attaining the ninth position in the MU merit list for the LLB exam, Walunj scored 82 out of 100 in his LLM CET exam. He claims that he submitted all documents proving his eligibility for reservation. However, due to a mistake by a clerk at the MU’s admission section, who overlooked the state certificate, he was disqualified. If a candidate belongs to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) and has a yearly family income of less than R8 lakh per annum, they are categorised as a non-creamy layer.
