NEET 2017: SC refuses to disturb PG medical admission in Tamil Nadu

The Madras high court quashed much of the postgraduate medical merit list published by the Tamil Nadu government.

NEET 2017: The Supreme Court has refused to disturb the PG medical admission process in Tamil Nadu. The court will now take up the matter for final hearing on September 4 following which an order would be passed in matter.

The Madras high court quashed much of the postgraduate medical merit list published by the Tamil Nadu government. The TN government filed a special leave petition following this. Facing possible contempt from the high court for non-compliance of the June 16 orders, the government moved the SC.

A division bench of Justice Rajiv Shakhder and Justice R Suresh Kumar quashed the merit list published on May 7 and directed authorities to recalibrate the list except those admitted under three specific categories.

The order was necessitated because the state government had classified all the 1,174 public health centres as rural and awarded incentive marks to all in-service doctors working there.
