Mumbai: The state was left licking its wounds on Monday after the Bombay high court came down harshly on the education department’s

decision to reserve 90 per cent of junior college seats for SSC students.The division bench of Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice S C

Dharmadhikari called it “unconstitutional, arbitrary, excessive, impermissible and the epitome of unfairness’’.
 
Imputing a political agenda to the 90:10 proposal, the judges said, “Decisions based on emotion can hardly be a substitute for the constitutional

process.’’
 
Class 10 students now have time till Tuesday to submit their application forms.
