The Supreme Court has directed one hundred seventeen medical students, who were granted admission in a private medical college in Rajasthan in violation of law, to pay 3 lakh rupees each to the government. Refusing to cancel their admission which was done in 2008, a bench of justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar directed the students to pay the amount which would be used for improvement of infrastructure and laboratories in government medical colleges.
The Apex court also directed the Private Medical College and Hospital in Udaipur in Rajasthan to surrender 107 seats in a phase-wise manner which will be filled up by the students selected through common entrance test conducted by the state government.
