7 Pondy med colleges get HC notice
Puducherry:


Asked For List Of Students Who Didn't Follow Rules 
 
The Madras high court on Monday issued notices to four medical colleges affiliated to deemed universities and three private medical colleges and hospitals in the Union territory of Puducherry to furnish the names of the students who have been given admission into postgraduate medical courses without following the procedure of counselling by the Puducherry government. Chief justice Indira Banerjee and justice M Sundar passed an order in this regard declaring that they have proposed to implead the students as respondents. The court passed the order while hearing a petition filed by advocate V B R Menon pleading for cancellation of all illegal admissions and admission of eligible students in their places.

The case was posted along with another petition with similar plea for further hearing.The four colleges affiliated to deemed university are Arupadai Veedu Medical College, Vinayaga Mission Medical College, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute and Sri Lakshmi Narayana institute of Medical Sciences (Slims). The three private medical colleges are Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Sri Venkateswara Medical College and Research Institute and Pondicherry Institute of Medi cal Sciences.

The court also issued notices to secretary and director of the health and family welfare services, Puducherrry government, centralized admission committee convener, lt governor's secretary , Medical Council of India's secretary , secretary (human resources development ministry) and University Grants' Commission's secretary in this regard.

The court had earlier disposed Menon's contempt petition by directing the Centac to admit eligible students to the vacancies as reported by one of the institutions ­ Slims. The court closed the contempt proceedings against three other deemed university colleges as they reported `nil vacancies'. It gave Menon the liberty to file a separate writ petition against the illegalities and omissions and commissions observed during the hearing of the contempt petition. Menon also filed a fresh write petition, which came for hearing on Monday .

It might be recalled that the court on June 16 directed the four colleges affiliated to deemed universities to admit students into postgraduate medical courses by receiving a fee of `10 lakh each per annum before 5pm on June 19. However none of the colleges honoured the court's order forcing Menon to file a contempt petition. There are 316 postgraduate medical seats including 159 seats under State quota in three private medical colleges and four institutions affiliated to deemed universities.
