Pay Rs 10 Lakh each to 150 medical students: SC tells GCRG Medical College
Advertisement
The Supreme Court on Thursday directed a medical college in Lucknow to grant compensation of Rs 10 lakh each to the 150 students it had admitted in the MBBS course without having due permission from the government, besides directing a refund of admission fee.
The apex body in no uncertain terms has also debarred the college, in question, GCRG Institute of Medical Sciences from admitting students for the next academic year commencing 2018-19. TOI reports that the Supreme court has further imposed a fine of Rs. 25 lakh to be deposited with the Supreme Court registry within 8 weeks.
Besides the action against the medical college, the court was also seen reprimanding the Allahabad High Court bench for allowing the admissions.
The college was among 32 colleges that had been denied permission by the Centre to admit students for two years. The GCRG trust had challenged this in the Supreme Court. But on August 28, it withdrew the petition from the apex court with the latter’s consent and filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court the next day.
