Madras High Court grants relief to medical students
- | Wednesday | 20th September, 2017
Justice B. Ravichandra Baabu granted the interim stay on writ petitions filed by a batch of 91 affected students. “Discharging these students from their course is undoubtedly a major penal action having drastic consequences on their academics. Needless to say that having allowed the students to continue in their cases for one year... it would certainly cause prejudice in the event of their success in these writ petitions later. Certainly, such drastic action cannot be taken without following the principles of natural justice. The Madras High Court has stayed the operation of proceedings issued by the Medical Council of India on September 7 and consequential action initiated by the Health Secretary in Puducherry to discharge students who had been admitted to Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2016-17 in violation of the admission norms.
