HC flays Army Medical College for reserving 100% seats

The Delhi High Court today came down heavily on an Army Medical college for not complying with the judicial orders by going ahead with reserving 100 per cent seats for the wards of defence personnel.

The court also sought the assistance of the Attorney General to examine the feasibility of take over of the Army Medial College run by Guru Govind Singh Indraprashtha University (GGSIPU).

“We request the Attorney General to assist the court on the issue,” a bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Sanjeev Khanna said while pulling up the college for running it according to their “whims and fancies”.

“On perusal of the affidavit filed by the college, it appears that they have all the powers on the earth to close the college at their whims and fancies and no authority can compel them to run the college,” the bench said.
