Hearing on petition against GO adjourned

Special Correspondent

Kochi: The Kerala High Court, on Monday, adjourned the hearing on a writ petition filed by the Kerala Christian Professional College Managements' Federation challenging a government order cancelling admissions made to government quota in postgraduate medical courses under its self-financing medical colleges and directing the Director of Medical Education to fill those seats.

In the petition, the federation pointed out that the college managements filled the government seats because the government failed to allot students to them despite reminders. It said that after finalising the fee structure, the managements wrote to the State government saying that they were not against allotting 50 per cent of the seats to the government. The petition said that since the last date for admission was May 31, it was mentioned in the letter that in case the government proposed to make allotments it should be intimated to the managements before May 16 so that admissions could be completed on or before May 25.
