Court not to interfere with MBBS, BDS Counselling

Chennai: The Madras High Court on Friday declined to interfere with the counselling process for MBBS/BDS admissions, scheduled to commence on July 9.

The First Bench comprising Chief Justice A.P. Shah and Justice P. Jyothimani, which had called for admission related details from officials on Thursday, said, "we cannot stop the process."

The matter relates to a public interest litigation petition filed by C. Maria Arul Rex seeking the deletion of names of candidates, who had passed Plus Two examination prior to 2006-07, from the rank list for MBBS/BDS.

Praying for an interim injunction restraining the authorities from commencing counselling for admission to MBBS courses on July 9, the petitioner said Plus Two students belonging to the 2006-07 batch should not be treated on a par with their counterparts of earlier batches, as the higher secondary syllabus had changed from the academic year 2005-06.

Special Government Pleader (Education) M. Sekar submitted the details and said the information in the affidavit was not correct. He said that 432 students, which constituted only 13 per cent of the total seats available in MBBS/BDS courses in Government as well as private medical colleges, belonged to the batches from 2002 to 2005. Their names figured in the rank list, and they were likely to get admission in a medical college, he added.

The Bench then adjourned the matter to July 9, and asked the authorities to produce the rank list of candidates that day.
