Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili of Telangana High Court on Wednesday would hear a writ petition challenging the Telangana government’s action in reserving 100% of MBBS/BDS seats only to students of Telangana State under ‘Competent Authority Quota’ (convenor quota).
The plea was filed on Tuesday by Potabattuni Chandra Shekhar from NTR district of neighboring Andhra Pradesh in the form of lunch motion. Justice Shavili, who heard the petition, posted the matter to today (Wednesday) after the government counsel sought time to respond on the issues raised by the petitioner.
The petitioner sought a direction staying the operation of Government Order (GO) Ms. No. 72 issued on July 3 by Directorate of Medical Education reserving all the seats in MBBS/BDS programmes to students hailing only from Telangana in colleges established after June 2, 2014. He also wanted to suspend operation of the prospectus of proceedings and regulations issued by Kaloji Narayanarao University of Health Sciences based on the said GO.
