Karnataka HC Orders Rs 15 Lakh Compensation for Meritorious MBBS Candidate Denied Admission
The Karnataka High Court recently directed Home Minister G. Parameshwara-headed Sri Siddartha Academy of Education (SSAHE), Tumakuru (a deemed to be university), to pay Rs 15 lakh compensation to a student who was denied MBBS admission, when less meritorious candidates were granted admission to the medical college.
While considering the plea filed by the concerned student back in 2018, a Division bench of the HC comprising Justices Anu Sivaraman and Manmadha Rao observed that the action of Sri Siddhartha Medical College, under SSAHE, in denying seat to the petitioner and granting the seat "to a less meritorious candidate was per se arbitrary and illegal and cannot be excused under any circumstances."
