New Delhi:
Alleging that the bulletin of information for the academic session
2011 was illegal, three medical course aspirants Wednesday
approached the Delhi High Court seeking that admissions to Delhi
University's three medical colleges be put on hold.
The vacation bench of Justice Manmohan Singh and Justice Suresh
Kait put up the matter for hearing July 4.
The court asked the central government and the university to file
their response by the next date of hearing.
"The bulletin of information for session 2011, of the faculty of
medical sciences of the Delhi University are unconstitutional and
illegal to the extent that it provides for filling of 36 MBBS
seats in the three colleges by the nominees of government of India
(NGOI)," said the petition.
The court was hearing the petition filed by three girls, who were
not able to get admission in medical colleges, after appearing in
an entrance exam.
Stuti Mittal, Noopur Chawla and Kopal Rohtagi pleaded that the
compulsion to admit 36 students recommended by NGOI in Delhi
University MBBS course was violation of their human rights.
The bulletin of Delhi University stated that it would conduct MBBS
course in Lady Hardinge Medical College, Maulana Azad Medical
College and University College of Medical Sciences. The admissions
would be based on the applicants' merit in the Delhi University
Medical Dental Entrance Test 2011 (DUMET 2011).
The petitioners said the bulletin said that nominations were made
by the government of India to fill seats under the category of
NGOI and that candidates who wished to be considered under this
category need not appear in the DUMET but were advised to
correspond directly with the authorities.
