Centralised counselling for engineering admissions on July 18 Hearing will continue on Friday
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Thursday said it would not pass any interim order on the writ appeal preferred by the association of unaided professional colleges against a single judge order, upholding the State Government’s stand on surrender of seats by unaided colleges and admission of students to management quota. The First Bench, comprising Chief Justice A.P. Shah and Justice P. Jyothimani, commenced hearing on the appeal against the July 2 order of Justice V. Dhanapalan. Arrangement in other States
During arguments, the Chief Justice also observed that in other States there was some arrangement between the college managements and the Government, wherein the colleges voluntarily surrendered a certain percentage of their seats to the Government quota. He then said, “If we grant interim order this way or that way, it may not be proper as important questions are involved.” Counselling and admission process for medical courses in Tamil Nadu are scheduled to commence on July 9. Centralised counselling for engineering admissions is to begin on July 18. Referring to the schedule, Rajeev Dhavan, senior counsel for the Consortium of Self-Financing Professional, Arts and Science Colleges, submitted that if permitted to proceed, the Government would fill the seats “appropriated” from unaided professional colleges. He sought to know the basis on which the Government decided to seek surrender of 65 per cent of seats in non-minority institutions and 50 per cent in minority institutions. Consensus
Advocate-General R. Viduthalai, reiterating that he would convince the Bench about the rationale behind the impugned Tamil Nadu Admission in Professional Educational Institutions Act and the May 25 Government Order, said the consensus on seat-sharing agreed by the colleges and the Government in 2006 was not a commercial contract renewable every year. Reviewing it every year is not in public interest, he added. Hearing will continue on Friday.
