State Act
Section 6. Prohibition as to discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or language.
The Burdwan University Act, 1959
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Burdwan University Act, 1981 (West Bengal Act XXIII of 1981), s.57(9); it may still apply to matters that began before then.
6. (1) The University shall not discriminate against any person on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, language or any of them with regard to— (a) admission as a teacher or student; or (b) the holding of any office; or (c) the acquisition of any degree, title, diploma, certificate or other academic distinction; or (d) the exercise or enjoyment of any power or privilege. (2) Nothing in this section shall prevent the University from accepting any benefaction the terms whereof are contrary to the provisions of this section or from acting in accordance with such terms or the terms of any other similar benefaction which has been or may be accepted by any college or other educational institution affiliated to or recognised by the University.
