CHANDIGARH: A Supreme Court bench, headed by Justice Dr DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli, issued notice to the Union Territory of Chandigarh, on a plea filed by Ananya Goswami and Col AP Goswami, challenging the last-minute change in criteria for MBBS admissions to Government Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh.
Questioning the botched-up criteria specially introduced for the defence personnel wards, it was contended by Amar Vivek Aggarwal and Shiva Prashar, advocates for the petitioner, that all through since 1992, the Chandigarh administration has been following Union government's directives and granting the waiver of domiciliary conditions to category of wards of defence personnel, thus not mandating them to pass 10 +2 class from Chandigarh schools and has been treating them as UT Pool candidates against 85% admission quota.
