The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the State to pay ₹2 lakh as cost to a differently abled medical aspirant, taking note of the fact that he was unfairly denied a medical seat.
The court was hearing the writ petition filed in 2019 by G. Arun Kumar. The medical aspirant first sought relief in 2018. He was not granted medical admission as the Selection Committee had disputed the certificate obtained by him.
Earlier, the court had directed the Director of Medical Education to constitute a fresh medical board and give a certificate of eligibility to the petitioner. The Board that was constituted confirmed the status of the petitioner as a differently abled person.
