‘illegal’ giving 10% order for Pondicherry government school students for medical college
The central government told Madras High Court on Thursday that it was rejected as ‘illegal’ giving 10% order for Pondicherry government school students for medical college, facing a similar type of rejection of 7.5% provided to the Tamil Nadu government school students.
In recording the submission carried out by additional Solicitor General Sankaranarayan, appearing for the center. Justice B Pugalenthi adjourned to hear further in the first week of April.
Senior Counsel strongly opposed the rejection
Appearing for the petitioner, Wilson, the Senior Counsel strongly opposed the rejection. In fact, He argues that the middle stand will sound death bells to the welfare of students who are eligible for reservation of 7.5% in Tamil Nadu as well.
Firstly, He further said that the center’s hold was against the legislative power of state below list III and against the assessment of the constitutional bench decision from the Supreme Court who approved the reservation in the service.
Decision runs on the concept of social justice and SC assessments
Also, it shows that a state has enough strength to provide orders in services for the benefit of student welfare and that the central government cannot handle it as illegal, Wilson argues that the decision runs on the concept of social justice and SC assessments.
Ministry of Health -Family Welfare, DOPT and the Ministry of Education (Department of Higher Education)
The ministry of the home, at its counter, has proposed that the proposal provides a 10% horizontal reservation (preferential admission) for Puducherry government school students in entering MBBS and other medical courses after clearing NEET, excluding seats in the all-India quota, have been examined in consultation with The Ministry of Health –Family Welfare, DOPT and the Ministry of Education (Department of Higher Education) Govt of India and ministries have not approved the proposal.
10% horizontal reservation given to government school students
Although the Puducherry Cabinet has approved the exclusive reservation and continued the same, then Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi had referred this problem to the center on the grounds that she was different from the reservation. Based on this, a student moved a request to find direction to the center to approve a 10% horizontal reservation given to government school students.
