Mumbai:
In a rare order, the Bombay high court clarified what a ‘clear vacancy’ would include and allowed a medical student to switch colleges from Sangli to Thane, on health grounds. Pankti Pancholi had challenged a rejection of her plea for a transfer by Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) from Government Medical College (GMC), Miraj to any other GMC in Thane or Mumbai, her hometown. She took admissions to Miraj college in 2016 but wanted a shift in 2nd year due to “debilitating” health reasons to a college in Thane which had a vacancy,after a student there had migrated said her counsel Rui Rodrigues.
Rodrigues said so far, the DMER was waiting for a “clear vacancy’’ which they said could only be when a student had, for instance, failed, not due to a migration. A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Bharati Dangre after hearing Kavita Salunke accepted the student’s case and directed her transfer to Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Thane.
