Jabalpur : Challenging the govt's decision to impose a penalty of Rs 30 lakh for vacating a PG seat from a govt medical college, the student, who vacated the seat, moved a petition before the high court, claiming that he vacated the seat due to rag ging and harsh duties. Hearing the petition, the division bench of Justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice Anuradha Shukla issued a notice to the respondents seeking a response.
The petition, filed on behalf of Dr Raj Kumar Ahirwar, a resident of Sihora, stated that he belongs to the SC category. He was selected in the NEET exam 2022 and was allotted a PG paediatrics seat at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. At the time of admission, he also signed a seatleaving bond. From Nov 2022 to Jan 2023, he allegedly faced ragging at the college. Additionally, he was ma de to work continuously for 48 hours as a junior doctor. Distressed by the harassment, he left the seat in Jan 2023. Due to the seat-leaving bond, the college administration charged him a penalty of Rs 30 lakh to return his original documents. Advocate Aditya Sanghi represented the petitioner.
