In a recent order, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has ruled that excluding students from consideration for admission under the State quota MBBS seats because they studied outside the State due to their parents being privately employed outside Himachal Pradesh is neither arbitrary nor unconstitutional.
The HC bench comprising Justice Ajay Mohan Goel held that, as per the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Rajdeep Ghosh v. State of Assam, such exclusion is based on a valid classification and it does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution.
