The Bombay High Court has directed the Mumbai University (MU) to grant admission to a candidate in the LLM (master of law) course for the academic year 2024-25 under the ‘general’ category after he was allegedly denied admission. Vinit Raje, an advocate by profession, had applied for the LLM course at the MU but was allegedly disqualified from the examination process, following which he moved the high court.

Raje said he had initially applied for the LLM CET under the general category in September last year, but later applied under the Econimically  Weaker Section (EWS) category after getting the EWS eligibility certificate on November 15, 2024.
