The Madras high court on Friday passed an interim order directing the government to submit a fresh proposal for accommodating 108 students of the now defunct Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Medical College in 22 government medical colleges in the state.

A division bench of Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice P Rajamanickam passed the interim order on the appeal moved by the state against the order of a single judge directing to accommodate the 108 students in government colleges.

The board of governors shall consider the proposal in accordance with the rules of the Indian Medical Council Act and forward the same to the Union ministry of health and family welfare within two weeks, the bench said.

The ministry shall pass orders on merit and produce the same in a sealed cover before the court by March  28. The entire process should be concluded within six weeks, the court said.

Opposing the appeal, senior counsels for the students P Wilson and Silambannan submitted that since the state has given an undertaking to the Centre that it takes the responsibility of the students in case private medical colleges close down, it should accommodate the students.
