Madras high court
Chennai: Madras high court has observed that political parties could adopt poor and meritorious students to help them in completing their courses.
Justice N. Kirubakaran, before whom petitions relating submission of nativity certificates by aspirants of medical course came up for hearing on Tuesday, observed that the political party leaders, who show sympathy on the students committing suicide, could adopt poor and meritorious students and support the students who struggle to pay the fees.
Political party members could adopt at least 10 poor and meritorious students. The party can even mention such measures in their election manifesto and the parties could become a role model to the others in the society. He made the observation when an advocate submitted that several medical course aspirants commit suicide after they failed to get admission in the course.
The judge directed the assistant solicitor general G. Karthikeyan to submit a report on students, who have applied for medical courses in other southern states.
Though it is clear that a total number of 1,250 students applied for medical seats in Tamil Nadu, it is not known whether they had applied for medical courses in other states also, the judge said.
The judge also directed Centre to conduct an enquiry and submit a report in connection with issue and submit report by July 10, 2018and posted that matter to July 6 for further hearing.
Originally, writ petitioner from R. Neeraj Kumar of Ayanavaram, a medical course aspirant, alleged that 104 candidates from other states got admission in Chennai medical colleges and over all 440 students got admission in TN colleges from other states. When the matter came up for hearing on June 22 the judge made it clear that production of Aadhaar card and its photocopy compulsory at the time of counseling to admission into medical courses.
