The Gujarat high court on ruled that children of defense personnel who had done their higher secondary from outside Gujarat cannot enroll in a medical college in the state.
The Gujarat high court on Saturday ruled that the children of defense personnel who had done their higher secondary from outside Gujarat cannot enroll in a medical college in the state.
The bench of chief justice Bhaskar Bhattacharya and justice JB Pardiwala refused to entertain two separate petitions filed by daughters of a retired Colonel of the Army and an officer of the Navy, respectively, who had done their HSC from outside Gujarat. The bench said it would not allow the petition as it concerned a policy matter of the state.
“It is a matter for the legislature to consider and this court cannot ask the legislature to legislate, as suggested by the appellants,” the court said.
Vishakha Patel, daughter of the retired colonel and Chandni Joshi, daughter of a naval officer posted at Port Blair, had approached the high court after they were denied admission in a medical college. They had appeared for GujCET and had qualified for admission but they were denied admission on the ground that they had done their HSC from outside Gujarat.
The lawyers on behalf of the girls argued that a student who had studied all through school in Gujarat but had to move out in Class 12 because of her father's transfer on government service — will not get admission to a medical college under the rules.
The counsels submitted that when the children of officers of all-India services like IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service are given admission in colleges here despite having done Class 12 outside Gujarat, there is no reason why children of military personnel cannot get the benefit.
