HC relief for three med aspirants

HC relief for three med aspirants

Madurai:25.12.2020

Granting relief to three aggrieved MBBS aspirants who applied for seats under the 7.5% quota for government school students but could not make it due to different reasons, Madras high court directed the authorities to keep three seats vacant when the All India Quota seats are surrendered.

Petitioner G Kathikajothi had got placement under the quota in a private college but since it required her to pay more fees, she did not accept it. Justice S Vaidyanathan observed that chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami had made a commitment that fees would be borne by the government for meritorious students who could not pay them in private colleges. The offer had been made after the petitioner refused to accept the seat. Hence, the judge said that the gesture shown by the CM may be applied for the petitioner depending upon seat availability, marks scored and the surrender of seats in All India Quota. TNN
