HC notice to med varsity on plea seeking CBI probe

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Bhopal/Jabalpur:

A division bench of MP High Court on Monday issued notice to MP Medical University in response to a petition filed by some medical students seeking a CBI or court-monitored probe into marksheet scam in the university.

The petitioners Avinash Gaur, Aditya Jain and 7  more medical students said that they are students of a private medical college and that they had taken admission in MBBS first year in 2019. Their exams were postponed by 6 months in the wake of the Corona pandemic. Results of their exam was declared on October 21, 2021 and half the students failed to clear one paper or more. The university had decided to allow revaluation or spot valuation on payment of Rs 2000 but later, the provision of revaluation or spot valuation was scrapped, thereby leaving the students with no option for redressal if they are not satisfied with the marks obtained.

They said that a marksheet scam by the company which was given the contract to hold exams and prepare marksheet of students by the medical university has also surfaced. The university doesn't have answer-sheets of students.

Citing rulings of various high courts and the Supreme Court, advocate for the petitioners Aditya Sanghi contended that if the university doesn't have data of its students, it should have given average marks to all the students and declared them pass. He also demanded a CBI or a court-monitored probe into the marksheet scam of the university. The case will now come up for hearing on October 21.
