SRINAGAR, Nov 28: The High Court kept intact the admission sought by the three medicos in Dental College Jodhpur, Rajasthan with the direction to college authority to issue degree certificates in their favour.
The Dental Council of India and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) had filed the appeals against a common judgment of Single Judge whereby communication regarding cancellation of admission of these medicos in the Jodhpur College was cancelled on the ground that they had not appeared in the competitive entrance examination (CET) for undergoing the BDS Course.
The communication of cancellation of admission in BDS course was issued while they were pursuing their 2nd year course in the College providing therein that they had been discharged from pursuing the BDS course in pursuance of a decision taken by the Dental Council of India.
Aggrieved by the action of the College, they approached the High Court by way of a writ petition challenging the decision of the Dental Council of India taken on 27.08.2015 and consequential orders passed by the Jodhpur Dental College. Their plea was allowed by the writ court.
The court said that the candidates having not been sponsored by AICTE/ J & K Government have disentitled themselves to the benefit of scholarship scheme promulgated by the Government of India for their admission are not in tune with the revised guidelines issued by the Ministry of Human Resource Development Department of Higher Education for academic year 2013-2014.
The Division Bench while disposing of both the appeals by providing that the admissions of all the three candidates in the BDS Course in the Jodhpur Dental College shall be treated as valid admission and directed the Principal, Dental College Jodhpur, Rajasthan to issue Degree Certificates in their favour provided they have successfully undergone, completed and qualified the BDS Course.
The court, however, set aside the writ court directions issued to the AICTE, State of J&K and Inter Ministerial Committee through its Secretary Shastri Bhavan, New Delhi for release of scholarship.
