A medical aspirant from Ladakh, whose name was recommended by the UT administration for admission from the Central Pool in the capital’s Lady Hardinge Medical College, has moved the Supreme Court against the college for delaying her admission even though classes for first year MBBS course had started. The court issued notice to the college seeking its response.

Agreeing to address the grievances of the student who claimed that the college failed to clear her admission despite her completing all the formalities more than a month back, a bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah issued notice to the college and posted the hearing for April 5.

The petitioner, Farzana Batool, approached the apex court through her advocate Neeraj Shekhar after classes for the course started but her admission was not cleared.

The director general of health services of Ladakh had forwarded her name on February 19 and she rushed to Delhi a day after and completed the admission formalities by submitting the relevant documents as well as fees in the college on February 22.

She alleged that even after completing all the formalities, her admission has not yet been confirmed, whereas classes for the first year MBBS course have started.

“Therefore, she was constrained to write an email on March 7 to the authorities requesting them to intervene and thereby confirm the admission process. But till date, the admission of the petitioner has not been confirmed,” said the petition.
