PG med case: State to press apex court for early 

hearing

Chennai: TNN





A week after the Madras high court quashed much of the postgraduate medical merit list published by the Tamil Nadu government, the state told the court on Friday that it had filed a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court. Facing possible contempt from the high court for non-compliance of the June 16 orders, the government also sought time to try its luck on the apex court.A division bench of Justice Rajiv Shakhder and Justice R Suresh Kumar quashed the merit list published on May 7 and directed authorities to recalibrate the list except those admitted under three specific categories.
The order was necessitated because the state government had classified all the 1,174 public health centres as rural and awarded incentive marks to all in-service doctors working there.
