Madras HC stays order to admit DD medical college students in Govt colleges

Chennai:
Madras High court has stayed a Single Judge order directing the state to create additional seats in government related medical colleges to accommodate students of DD Medical College and DD Hospitals in neighbouring Tiruvallur district.
A bench comprising of justice M Jayachandran and justice M Venugopal after hearing a writ appeal filed by Board of governors In supersession of Medical Council of India stayed the order of justice K K Sashidharan.
In his order, Justice Sashidharan directed the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Tamil Nadu government to give admission to the institution’s students of the 2011-12 and 2012-13 batches in government medical colleges during the academic year 2014-15.
MCI has argued that the impugned order is erroneous as it creates rights for illegally admitted students which are contrary to the law.
It also stated the order is erroneous in directing the appellant to permit the state government to create additional seats in government medical college for the year 2014-15 for the students of DD Medical College in 2011-12 and 2012-13 when the admitted position is that the admissions made in 2011-12 and 2012-13 were illegal.
MCI has also challenged the order stating that it is erroneous in law and contrary to the facts and the law laid down by Supreme Court and deserves to be set aside besides it has issued a mandamus to cure an illegality which is not permitted.
