Merger of quota seats for medical admissions challenged

06/08/2019, B. TILAK CHANDAR,MADURAI

The Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday ordered notice to the State government on a petition challenging the merger of surrendered vacant medical seats under the all-India quota with those of the State quota in NEET counselling for medical admissions.

Justice R. Suresh Kumar ordered notice to the State government for clarification on the issue. The court was hearing a petition filed by R. Deekshita of Madurai, who contended that the surrender and merger of vacant seats would affect the communal roster for the allotment of seats.

However, the court dismissed an earlier writ petition filed by the same petitioner, seeking a direction to allot the surrendered seats under the all-India quota only to those candidates who had applied under this quota.

The court dismissed the petition, taking into account the fact that the candidate was not eligible to be selected under the all-India quota.
