Muzaffarnagar: Students of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh will now get admission in IIT institute. The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Dhanbad to admit a Dalit youth who lost his seat due to non-payment of fees. After this, a wave of happiness ran in his native Titora village located in Muzaffarnagar district. On receiving the information, the villagers started dancing with drums and other musical instruments. Sweets were distributed in the village. Meanwhile, Atul Kumar’s mother Rash Devi said that we are very happy that our son Atul Kumar has been allowed admission. She welcomed the order of the apex court. The Dalit student’s brother Amit Kumar also expressed happiness.

Court gave verdict

Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra’s bench while giving the verdict in the case said that we cannot deprive such a talented youth of opportunity. He cannot be left in the lurch. The Supreme Court, using its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution, ordered IIT, Dhanbad to admit Atul Kumar in Electrical Engineering B.Tech course. Article 142 of the Constitution empowers the Supreme Court to pass any order in the interest of justice.

Failed to deposit fees

Atul Kumar’s (18) parents had failed to deposit Rs 17,500 as fees by June 24, which was the last date for depositing the required fee. To save the seat they had earned with hard work, the young man’s parents also approached the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, Jharkhand Legal Services Authority and Madras High Court. Atul Kumar is the son of a daily wage labourer. His family lives below the poverty line in Titora village of Muzaffarnagar district in Uttar Pradesh.

A student named Atul, a resident of Titora village, was allowed a seat in Electronic Engineering in Dhanbad IIT in Round One. Atul could not get admission due to financial difficulties as he was unable to deposit the fees on time. It was being told that Atul’s family had somehow managed to arrange the fee of Rs 17,500. At the last moment, the college website was automatically logged out. Due to this, Atul’s fees could not be deposited.

There was no justice from the High Court

Atul had first gone to Jharkhand and Madras High Court regarding the admission process not being completed, but after not getting any justice from there, Atul and his family knocked the door of the Supreme Court. On Monday, the Supreme Court’s decision came in favor of student Atul Kumar. After getting justice from the Supreme Court, a grand celebration was held at Atul’s house in Titoda village today. The family expressed their happiness by feeding sweets to each other while raising slogans of Supreme Court Zindabad with drums.

Brother expressed happiness

Amit Kumar told that my brother’s name is Atul Kumar. He was selected in IIT. After selection in IIT, ISM Dhanbad, we were not able to deposit the fees. Due to this, he could not get admission in IIT. That is why we filed a petition in the Supreme Court. The decision on the petition has come today. The court’s decision has come in our favor. Amit said that he would like to thank the Supreme Court for giving the decision in our favour. We come from a poor family, so the court’s decision is going to bring us happiness.
