Overview

Granting major relief to the MBBS aspirants in Punjab, the High Court of Punjab and Haryana has restrained the State from insisting on property sureties from students seeking admission to MBBS courses in government medical colleges.

In its order dated September 19, the Punjab and Haryana HC observed, "The respondents (state government) shall not insist upon submission of solvency (two properties of ₹20 lakh each) on ₹100 stamp paper, provided the petitioners submit the bond in a specified format."

The High Court order comes after a plea was filed last week by a batch of selected students, who challenged the State's medical education department's decision to ask students to submit an undertaking with an assurance to serve the State for 2 years or pay a bond penalty.
