A bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and R K Agrawal issued notice to the Devendra Fadnavis government and others while seeking its reply within a week.
The apex court was hearing a petition filed by a law student, Kedar Warad, challenging July 5 order of Bombay High Court which said that "state was well within its powers to conduct a common entrance test for admissions to all law colleges, whether private, aided or unaided."
"The court would have been happier had the state notified the students about the exam pattern, syllabus etc. Well in advance and thus granted them more time to prepare. But merely because the exam was not conducted in a manner suggested by the petitioner, we can't declare the common entrance test and the entire process around it illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional," the High Court had said in its order.
