The group of parents is also planning to move the High Court. Their basic demand being that outsiders seeking medical admissions in the state should have studied in Gujarat from Class X; a rule in practice, earlier.

However, with NEET becoming a reality, they are insisting on domicile being made criteria for admissions reports TOI.
