No change in communal rank for med aspirant: HC
tnn | Jul 23, 2019, 04.23 AM IST
The Madurai bench of the Madras high court set aside the order of a single judge in an appeal moved by the National Testing Agency (NTA) of central government against revising the communal rank of a medical aspirant.
In the petition, the agency submitted that any change in the ranking list would cause repercussions throughout the country and that other students who were careful in mentioning their category would be affected.
When the petition was heard on Monday, the agency submitted that though several opportunities were given to the petitioner, it was not utilized by them.
Recording the submission, a division bench of Justice K Ravichandrabaabu and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy set aside the order of the single judge to revise the communal rank of a medical aspirant.
It can be recalled that M Vikram Balaji, a minor represented by his father V Maran, a resident of Periyakulam in Theni district stated that the school in which his son was studying had engaged some private consultants and they inadvertently entered his son’s communal category as OBC instead of SC at the time of application for NEET exam.
He said that if his son’s communal category is corrected as SC there is an imminent chance for him to get medical admission. If not, he may miss his chance of getting admission for MBBS course. Hearing the plea, a single judge directed the authorities concerned to correct the communal category and to modify his communal category rank within two weeks.
