The said issue has  been covered by a batch of Writ Petitions in W.P.Nos.37804 of 2006 etc., batch in the order dated 11.1.2008, wherein relying upon the judgment of the Supreme Court  in <a href=\"\/doc\/1390531\/\">P.A.Inamdar and others vs. State of Maharashtra<\/a> (2005 (6) SCC 537), this Court has held that the said Government Order insofar as it compels unaided Non-minority and Minority Institutions imparting Teacher Education course to follow the reservation policy of the State Government in the matter of admission of students is arbitrary and unconstitutional, however holding that as held by the Supreme Court  in P.A.Inamdar's case, in the event of such Institutions voluntarily agreeing for certain seat sharing process based on the reservation policy of the State Government to take care of weaker and poorer sections of the Society, but subject to the merit as the main criterion of admission, the same is permissible. The following is the observation made in the above order:\n\" 27. Therefore, as per the law declared by the Supreme Court  as on date, it is abundantly clear that the State Government insisting on the  private unaided Minority or Non-minority Educational Institutions to follow the policy of reservation in respect of admission of students under the Management quota of seats is totally arbitrary and illegal and the admission shall be made only based on merit  In view of the above said legal position, the impugned Government Order in so far as it compels the unaided Non-minority and Minority Institutions imparting Teacher Education course to follow the reservation policy of the State Government in the matter of admission of students is arbitrary and unconstitutional. However, as observed by the Supreme Court  in P.A.Inamdar's case, in the event of such Institutions voluntarily agreeing for certain seat sharing process based on the reservation policy of the State Government to take care of weaker and poorer sections of the Society, but subject to the merit as the main criterion of admission, the same is permissible. \tThe Writ Petition stands allowed with the above observations.\"\n\n\t4.
