The Supreme Court on Friday asked for the government's response to a series of petitions to allow nearly 20,000 Ukraine-returned Indian medical students to complete their education in India. The students had to flee Ukraine in the face of Russian attacks.
The students are banking on a report submitted by the Lok Sabha Committee on External Affairs on August 3 in which the government had said it would consider accommodating them in private medical colleges in India as a one-time measure.
But a Bench led by Justice Hemant Gupta asked whether there would be enough seats available for 20,000 students. The court also orally remarked that these students had chosen to leave India for Ukraine.,
