Allahabad High Court Stays Judicial Inquiry in NLU Prayagraj Caste Discrimination Case
The Allahabad High Court has stayed a single judge's order for a judicial inquiry into caste discrimination allegations at Dr Rajendra Prasad National Law University, Prayagraj. A division bench ruled that the university's Equal Opportunity Cell should first examine the complaint, as it is responsible for addressing such issues internally. The case involves allegations by two students against the Law Department Head, claiming caste-based humiliation and retaliation. The court will review any inquiry report submitted by judicial officers on September 29, 2026.
