Madras high court

Chennai: “Sympathy, which was unduly shown to the petitioner by this court is taken advantage of, by the petitioner, who has approached this court, without any justification, which needs to deprecated and condemned,” Madras high court while dismissing a petition from a third year MBBS girl student, challenging tuition fee of Rs 3 lakh for the academic year 2017-2018.

A medical seat is a precious seat and it is a life time ambition for many students. Having got the seat under government quota in a private medical college, the petitioner migrated to Coimbatore Medical College from Karpaga Vinayaka Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kancheepuram, by virtue of orders passed by this court, which is only based on sympathy. She has again approached this court, said Justice N. Kirubakaran while dismissing the petition filed by P. Ramya.

Ramya underwent the first year course in KVIMSRC in 2014 and thereafter filed a petition seeking for migration. A single judge taking into consideration the availability of two seats in Coimbatore Medical College and Stanley Medical College directed the authorities to pass an order of migration in her favour from private medical college to Coimbatore Medical College. Accordingly, she was accommodated and has been pursuing medical course and she was in the third year. For the third year, a sum of Rs 3 lakh has been demanded towards tuition fee. Challenging the same, she filed the petition.

In the conditional transfer order it has been stated that she should pay fees fixed by the fee committee for the remaining years. The impugned order has been passed based on the transfer order, but also the admission into private medical college under government quota, which cannot be challenged at any point of time, till the course was over, the judge added.

The judge said, “this court regrets for the sympathy shown to the petitioner, which is being taken advantage of by the petitioner unjustifiably. The petition is nothing but abuse of process of law, contrary to the conditional migration order passed by the government in her favour. Therefore, the petition is dismissed. Though, the present petition is an abuse of process of court and an exemplary cost of Rs 1 lakh has to be imposed on the petitioner, considering the fact that the petitioner is a student, this court is not imposing any cost”.
