Plea for declaring PG medical fees to be fixed by Puducherry panel
Chennai: A PIL has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking that fees payable for admission to PG medical/dental courses in self-financing and deemed universities in Puducherry be fixed by the Puducherry Fees Committee.
The PIL also sought a direction to ensure that the fees is fixed in accordance with the law and procedures laid by the Supreme Court.
When the PIL came up today, the court issued notice to the Puduchery government and impleaded the Union HRD ministry, UGC, five private medical colleges of Karaikal and Puducherry as respondents, returnable by June 13.
The petitioner also sought a direction to the concerned authorities of Puducherry government to provisionally admit applicants who have been issued allotment orders by the Centralised Admission Committee by collecting the fees fixed by the Puducherry Fees Committee, "pending disposal of the petition."
The petitioner said it is just and necessary that the Puducherry Fees Committee shall fix reasonable fees for all categories of medical colleges, including those under deemed universities, to bring in some extent of uniformity in the fee structure and to avoid fleecing of students by managements.
The first bench, comprising Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice M. Sunda, issued notice to Su. Srinivasan, Assistant Solicitor General of India, on behalf of UGC and also issued notice to all the five private medical Colleges. Notice was also issued to Puducherry government pleader A. Gandhirajan.
The petition was filed by advocate V.B.R. Menon.
