Chennai:
Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered the director of the directorate of medical education (DME) and secretary of selection committee DME to grant bonus marks to three petitioners for admission into post graduate degree or diploma courses for the academic year 2014-15.
Justice B Rajendran after hearing the arguments by advocate S Thanka Sivan on behalf of three assistant surgeons directed the respondents to grant additional bonus marks to the petitioners – S Paramaguru, S Suganya and V Saravanan for services rendered in the remote or difficult areas as contemplated under Government Order 368 by Health and Family Welfare Department for admissing to post graduate degree courses.
Rejecting the contention that the petitioners have not served in hilly areas, the judge said that it is without any basis and when candidates serving in Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam and ramanathapuram districts were given certain concessions, the same yardstick has to be applied in the case of petitioners as well.
He also stated in his order that the court cannot entertain writ petitions praying identical relief sought for in this case because a person who waits for another person to get an order and then approaches court will not be extended the same relief.
The judge said the petitioners are entitled for two more marks for each year of service as per sub clauses 2 and 3 of clause 38 of the prospectus. “If additional marks are awarded, definitely in the ranking given to the petitioners will improve which would enable them for being considered for admission to the post graduate degree or diploma courses
