Plea seeks EWS quota in MBBS admission

MADURAI, JULY 05, 2019 00:00 IST

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday ordered notice to the Centre and the State after yet another medical aspirant filed a petition, this time seeking a direction to implement the reservation quota for the economically weaker sections (EWS) for medical admission. Justice R. Suresh Kumar ordered notice to the respondents and adjourned the hearing by a week in a petition filed by V. Krishna Nair of Kanniyakumari district.

The petitioner sought a direction to the Centre and the State to implement the 10% seat reservation for EWS candidates.

The petitioner complained that while most of the States were implementing the quota, Tamil Nadu had not done so.

With the MBBS counselling for government quota scheduled to begin on July 5, non-implementation of the quota was against natural justice, she said and sought a direction to the respondents to implement the EWS reservation quota for selection of candidates.
