The Madras high court has directed the state government to pass final orders allowing Christian College of Nursing in Kanyakumari district to seek approval to enhance intake of students in its undergraduate course, as the director of medical education had approved the same in 2017. The court further directed Nursing Council of India to grant necessary approval to the college for enhancement of students intake.
Justice V Parthiban observed it was incomprehensible as to how the university could insist on the petitioner college to obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ and permission from the state government as its own statute provides adequate power to deal with such claims. “The university appears to have not appreciated its own power vested in it under the regulations.”
The judge said the contention of the government regarding a GO passed in 2018, which requires its permission for enhancing seats, may not be a legally acceptable argument for the simple reason that a GO cannot be allowed to override a statutory provision of the university. TNN
