Punjab and Haryana High Court reserves verdict

Chandigarh, November 19

A day after the proceedings of counselling for NRI seats in the MBBS course at the GMCH-32 were directed to be kept in a sealed cover, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today reserved its verdict.

The Bench of Justice Rajan Gupta and Justice Karamjit Singh was hearing a petition filed by Aanchal Setia against the UT Administration and other respondents. The Bench added that the counsel for the petitioner prayed that the candidate might be allowed to participate in the NRI category.

“We notice from the application form that the petitioner originally applied in the general category. At this stage, we are not inclined to accept this prayer. However, it is directed that the proceedings of the counselling for the NRI seats be kept in sealed cover,” the Bench added. —TNS
