NEW DELHI, JAN 8: The Supreme Court observed today that if Jammu and Kashmir Government was not willing to surrender 15 percent of the Centre’s share in its post graduate medical courses then the students who have done their MBBS from the State would not be entitled to appear in all India entrance examination that is conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.
An apex court bench of Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan and Justice BS Chauhan told the petitioner Shweta’s Counsel Balbir Singh Gupta, “If you (J&K Government) can’t permit 15 percent Central quota in your PG courses then your alumni can’t appear for all India entrance examinations”.
When Gupta said that the petitioner Shweta was Indian citizen and could not be denied the right to appear in the all India examination being conducted by AIIMS, Delhi, the Chief Justice Balkakrishnan said, “So long as the State of J&K is not willing to surrender 15 percent of the Central share the student passing out from J&K can’t appear in all India examination”.
At this point the counsel Gupta pleaded for the withdrawal of the petition.
His client Shweta, a resident of Haryana, did her MBBS from Jammu based Acharya Shrichander College for Medical Sciences and Hospital in 2007. Through a Court order in 2008 she was allowed to appear in the entrance examination conducted by the AIIMS, Delhi. However, she missed the opportunity on account of her ill health.
Next time she was not allowed to appear in the all India competition on account of rules turning adverse against her since she had done MBBS from Jammu. At the same time she could not pursue for Post Graduate studies in J&K as she is not a domicile of that State. Today her petition was dismissed as withdrawn.
