HC Stays Direction to 17 Medical Colleges to Surrender NRI MBBS Seats, Conditions Imposed
Karnataka High Court
Bengaluru: Granting relief to altogether 17 private medical colleges, which were earlier directed to surrender a certain number of management/NRI quota MBBS seats to the government quota seats, a Division Bench of the High Court recently stayed the Single Judge bench order in this regard.
These colleges were earlier penalised for violating the norms and admitting students securing lower ranks to MBBS courses in 2018. While granting the stay, the HC Division bench has imposed a condition on the colleges, asking them to deposit the Court the differential amount of fees, charged for the government quota seats in private colleges and the management/NRI quota seats.
As per the court order, the colleges will have to deposit this amount with respect to the number of seats that they were required to surrender to the government quota seats within four weeks.
The colleges have to pay the differential amount of fees- fees fixed by the government and the amount collected by them under the NRI/management quota from the 2018 batch students.
However, the interim order passed by the Division Bench of Chief Justice N.V.Anjaria and Justice K.V. Aravind is subject to the final order as the colleges contended that if the Bench dismissed their appeals, they would be bound to surrender the seats for the next academic year.
