The first round of a legal tussle between the state’s medical varsity and a private medical college in the city affiliated to a varsity in Puducherry swung in favour of the TN Dr MGR Medical University.
A bench of the HC acted on a writ petition from the University and granted an interim injunction restraining Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute from admitting an MBBS batch for the current year. This meant that 150 students who would have completed their admission process into this private institution at Tiruporur, would find themselves in a limbo.
The Vice-Chancellor of the TN Dr MGR Medical university, Dr Mayil Vahanan Natarajan, said that the functioning of the institute for the past four years was in violation of the TN Dr MGR Medical University Act. “All medical colleges in the State have to be affiliated with us, unless they have prior approval,” he said, and added that the only exception was for deemed ones. This was only the beginning of a crackdown on colleges with dubious affiliations and “irregularities” in their constitution, he said.
The Sri Sathya College had been awarding degrees through the Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University, Puducherry, as per their website.
