PIL Challenges NRI Quota in Medical Colleges, HC Denies Hearing
Madhya Pradesh High Court
Bhopal: Despite having a special sitting on Sunday to consider a public interest litigation over NRI quota in private medical colleges, a Division bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Sunday refused to hear the matter as a PIL, TOI has reported.
After this, the petitioner sought to withdraw the PIL and the HC bench accepted this prayer. It also granted liberty to the petitioner to use alternative legal remedies available to him.
Filing the plea, Advocate Vishal Baghel pointed out that based on the score secured in the National Eligibility-Entrance Test (NEET), a merit list is prepared for the NRIs. 15% NRI quota is granted to the NRIs in the private medical colleges of the State.
