#BREAKING: Madras High Court dismisses plea by State General Secretary of the BJP Karu Nagarajan against Tamil Nadu govt’s constitution of a nine-member panel to study the impact of #NEET on socially and economically backward students.

#MadrasHighCourt @KaruNagarajan1

#MadrasHighCourt ORDER: Setting up of the commission does not amount to subverting any process of (medical) admission, far less an act of defiance to any order passed by #SupremeCourt or even remotest challenge to the authority of the Union. #NEET

#MadrasHighCourt ORDER: The setting up of the commission can by no stretch of imagination be seen to be contrary to any Supreme Court order, whether letter or spirit or as a counter to any legislative action taken by the Union or process put in place. #NEET

#MadrasHighCourt ORDER: For all we know, the commission may come up with some material that the state may use to persuade the Union or others to modify or make the process more inclusive for students belonging to economically/ socially weaker sections to participate #NEET

ORDER: Other point of view equally possible that way forward for students of the State to compete in #NEET may be to raise standard of school education. It is a question of policy whether bar has to be raised at school level or bar has to be lowered at medical admission level

#MadrasHighCourt ORDER: Issuance of the notification does not exceed the authority of the State govt. As long as the State govt does not do anything to upset the procedure for admission to medical institutions as established by law, it does not call for any interference. #NEET
