Karnataka HC cracks down on a Banglore Medical College
Advertisement
One Medical College seat. Four Candidates. All allegedly paid money (huge money) to the management of the hospital/college through Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha and assumed that that they would get admission. All later denied admission, on the grounds that their admission exceeds the stipulated management seat of the college. Who could they turn to but the court?
In response to writ petition filed by the students and their family, the Karnataka High Court has given a landmark judgment cracking down on Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences. The students and their families had allegedly paid at least Rs 65 Lacks each to the college development fund to secure the management seat, with a maximum running to Rs 1 Crore. Out of the four students, the Court directed the College to admit the candidate who had scored the maximum in the entrance test and denied admission to others.
For the other students, the HC reprimanded the college, that it was irresponsible of Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences to discharge them only on the last date, preventing them from taking admission elsewhere. As a penalty the court ordered the college to pay Rs 1cr each to the students, in addition to their earlier paid amount to the Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha.
Further, the court said that this order should not come in way or the admitted student and his family to initiate appropriate civil and criminal proceedings against the two directors of the Sangha, for the recovery of the cash paid to them
