The Supreme Court has refused to interfere with an order passed by Madras high court directing Tamil Nadu government to accommodate 108 students of the now-defunct Ponniah Ramajayam Institute of Medical Sciences (PRIMS) in six private self-financing medical colleges in the state.
A vacation bench comprising Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice Sanjiv Khanna passed the order while disposing of a plea moved by Su Archana, one among the 108 students, seeking direction to the government to accommodate them in state-run medical colleges and not in private self-financing colleges.
“All 108 students of PRIMS, which had been closed down, cannot be accommodated in government medical colleges. The students concerned have been directed to be accommodated in other medical colleges. We find no reason to interfere with the order,” the apex court said.
“Needles to mention that the direction of the high court to accommodate the students shall be complied with and that the authorities shall ensure that the petitioners do not have to discontinue their course by reason of closure of medical colleges,” the court added.
The issue pertains to pleas moved by second year MBBS students of PRIMS, denied permission to continue medical course since MCI had refused recognition to the college. Holding the state responsible for their plight, a single judge of the court directed the state to accommodate them in government medical colleges in the state.
