New Delhi: The question if the Fee Regulatory Committee can review the documents of students who get admitted to the 15 per cent management quota seats will be decided by the Supreme Court, which has allowed a plea in this regard by the Nair Service Society (NSS).
Filing the plea before the Apex Court, NSS challenged 2017 amendment to the State law that governs medical admission in Kerala, adds Mathrubhumi.
While the Kerala High Court rejected the plea, the Nair Service Society has now approached the top court in this regard and the bench comprising of justice DY Chandrachud considered the matter on Friday.
The matter concerns Kerala Medical Education (Regulation and Control of Admission to Private Medical Educational Institutions) Act, 2017. As per this Act, the Fee Regulatory Committee, which has the charge of fixing the fees for the Private medical colleges in a State, can review the documents of students who get enrolled in the 15 per cent management quota seats.
