The beleaguered Sri Muthukumaran Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, which is yet to be allowed to admit students for MBBS course this year, has knocked at the doors of the Madras high court to be included in the seat matrix.
The institution is in trouble after the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) issued notice for locking, sealing and demolition of at least seven buildings saying they were either without planning approval or were guilty of deviations. Citing this grave violation, the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University disallowed the college from being included on the list of college eligible to admit students for MBBS courses this year.
Noting that it was only a notice by the CMDA and that the buildings concerned could continue to be utilised, the petitioner said out of abundant caution the management had shown a list of alternative buildings to an inspection committee deputed by the university. It also gave an undertaking that adequate building facilities with necessary approvals would be constructed within three months.
“Suitable alternative buildings approved by the CMDA have been located for all the buildings which are under lock, seal and facing demolition notice of the CMDA, and they were also inspected by the inspection team,” she said.
Noting that the last counselling for allotment of MBBS seats by the selection committee was held on August 8, and that as per the Medical Council of India regulations, the admission process should be completed by August 31, it wanted the court order inclusion of the college in the seat matrix so that it could admit students for the academic year 2019-20.
Justice G Jayachandran, before whom the petition filed by chairperson of Sri Muthukumaran Educational Trust Gomathi Ammal, came up for admission on Tuesday, adjourned the hearing to August 19.
