Chennai:13.07.2018

A PIL in the Madras high court has sought a direction to the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of the Union ministry of health and family welfare in New Delhi and the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) in Puducherry to take penal action against 10 medical colleges and deemed universities in Puducherry for admitting students in the first year MBBS course without counselling and after the September 30 cut-off date.

The PIL wanted the court to direct those institutions to surrender the 883 seats filled during 2016-17 and 2017-18 for 2018-19 academic years.

A division bench of Justice T S Sivagnanam and Justice Bhavani Subbaroyan, before which the PIL filed by G Panchapakesan came up for hearing, ordered notice to authorities.

The institutions, which had admitted students after the specified last date, shall also be liable to face penal action as prescribed by MCI, the petition said.
