Govt should challenge decision on medical admission before SC: Dhananjay Munde

Mumbai: Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde demanded that the government stop the process of medical admissions until the issue of allowing non-domicile students to apply for medical seats in the state is resolved.

"The Medical Education Department should approach the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Courts decision to allow non-domicile students (those who are not residents of Maharashtra) to apply for medical seats in the state," Munde said here.

"Until the Supreme Court gives its decision the government should stop the admission process," the NCP leader said.

Parents of some students from the state moved the SC against the decision last week, but the apex court asked them to file a review petition before the High Court itself.
