The Supreme Court has transferred to itself the petition titled Anoop Prabhakar v. Union of India (2014) pending in the Allahabad HC seeking to implement Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006 in the Aligarh Muslim University.

The bench comprising Justices S Ravindra Bhat and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra passed an order on Monday allowing the transfer plea filed by the Union of India.

In 2006, Parliament passed Central Educational Institutions Act, 2006 for giving reservation to SC/ST/OBC in central institutions. In 2014, a petition before Allahabad HC was filed to extend benefit of such reservation in Aligarh Muslim University.

Since the question about the "status of Aligarh Muslim University" is already pending before SC in Aligarh Muslim University v. Naresh Agarwal(2006), the court directed the present matter to be tagged along with it.

Case title: Union of India v. Aligarh Muslim University And Ors

Citation: T.P.(C) No. 1870/2014
