“Before going to the Minister, we requested the college authorities and they said they were waiting for clarity on the issue, as some people had approached the courts against HK quota, Mr. Shankareppa said. Our lawyer told them the quota was mandatory, but they did not heed to our demands. That is why we had to file a writ petition in the High Court,” he said. The order was issued on June 22.
