MADURAI: The Madras high court on Tuesday dismissed four petitions challenging the nativity of 126 candidates who were ranked under 85% state government quota for MBBS/BDS admission.
Four medical aspirants — G Somnath, K Neya, V C Ajithvass and A M Srilaya -- moved the high court seeking to conduct fresh counselling after deleting the names of candidates from other states who were ranked under 85% government quota for MBBS/BDS admission.
During hearing, the court suo motu impleaded all the 126 candidates mentioned by the petitioners and directed them to submit the documents regarding their nativity.
Justice M Sundar observed that 78 of the 126 candidates had proved their nativity and had been relived as parties to the petitions. The others also submitted their documents.
The judge cited that the question of deleting the alleged other state candidates under had clearly become a non- starter as far as the materials before this court was concerned.
"The petitioners have not made out any case for assailing the rank list published and the counselling conducted. There is no ground to direct the selection committee to conduct a fresh counselling," the judge observed.
The judge said a careful perusal of the cut-off marks revealed that even if all the remaining 48 candidates were dislodged, these four writ petitioners would not get admission.
Hence the judge dismissed the petitions citing that they were bereft of merits.
