Students Urge HC to Exclude Madurai Medical College as Counting Centre for Upcoming Elections, ECI asked to Respond
Madurai: While considering a plea seeking a direction to the authorities not to include Madurai Medical College as a counting centre for the upcoming General Elections and future elections, the Madurai bench of Madras High Court recently sought to know the stand of Election Commission of India (ECI) in this regard.
ECI has been directed by the HC bench of Justices D. Krishnakumar and R. Vijayakumar to file a counter affidavit to the public interest litigation (PIL) filed in this regard by the Students Council of Madurai Medical College.
Filing the plea, the students submitted that the Government Medical College was attached to the Government Rajaji Hospital and if the college got listed as a counting centre, it would go under the control of the authorities.
They argued that civil works would be carried out on the premises and temporary and new structures would be put up to provide space for counting rooms and strong romms user for storing the Electronic Voting Machines.
