Hyderabad: Amid the growing concern regarding the future of students who got enrolled in the private medical colleges in Telangana, the vacation bench of High Court has put a stay on the National Medical Commission's order of cancelling admission of 150 fresh candidates at the TRR Institute of Medical Sciences until the Apex Medical Body takes a call on the statutory appeal filed by the aggrieved college.
The stay order was passed by a bench comprising of Justices Anninreddy Abhishek Reddy and Justice Mummineni Sudheer Kumar as it noted that the NMC Act itself provides for a statutory appeal and the Institute has already filed an appeal before the Apex Medical Body, reports TNIE.
Therefore, the bench directed NMC to take a call on the appeal at the earliest and not act on its orders against the medical college.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that following a surprise inspection, the National Medical Commission (NMC) recently cancelled MBBS and PG medical admissions in three private medical colleges in the State resulting in a huge decrease in the total number of seats.
While MBBS and postgraduate courses has been cancelled at MNR Medical College and Hospital, Sangareddy, in the case of Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Vikarabad, the Apex Medical Regulator has cancelled the PG medical seats.
Apart from this, TRR Institute of Medical Sciences, Patancheru has lost its letter of permission for the first renewal and second batch of admission.
Such a decision has been taken by the Apex Medical body on the basis of the surprise inspection conducted by the team on March 30, 2022. Although NMC did not act on the inspection reports before admission into UG and PG courses were being conducted until May first week, it cancelled the admissions on May 19 after the process was completed.
Recently, the State Government intervened to solve the matter and set up a high-level committee as well. Apart from this, it also wrote to the NMC and assured giving directions to the medical colleges to rectify their mistakes.
Meanwhile, TRR Institute of Medical Sciences approached the High Court and prayed for a stay on the order of the Apex medical body.
As per the latest media report by the
Times of India, the counsel for the college pointed out that the Commission had given its not for MBBS admission in 150 seats after properly inspecting the infrastructure of the institute back in November 2021. Therefore, that infrastructure could not disappear overnight, argued the counsel.
Questioning the order that instructed KNRUHS to reallocate 150 MBBS students to other eligible medical colleges, the counsel mentioned, "Waiting till we complete our admissions and then cancelling shows that the action is mala fide and not bona fide,"
"The whole exercise of inspections and the consequent cancellation of admissions seems to be a pre-planned one," he added.
On the other hand, the counsel for the NMC argued that medical colleges without proper infrastructure cannot be allowed to produce subpar doctors, risking the public health in future, adds the
New Indian Express.
The Deccan Chronicle adds that referring to the allegations by the college that claimed NMC of double standards, the counsel for NMC submitted that the board sent its communication on the basis of ground realities.
