SC directs UP authorities to not take adverse steps against MBBS student

Supreme Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh authorities to not take any adverse steps against a student who has completed three years of the MBBS course at the Motilal Nehru College in Prayagraj.

An MBBS student who has completed three years of the MBBS course at the Motilal Nehru College in Prayagraj got a big relief from the top court of India as the court has directed the Uttar Pradesh authorities to not take any adverse steps against her for allegedly taking advantage of the NCC quota in getting the admission. 

A vacation bench of justices D Y Chandrachud and Bela M Trivedi said, "The petitioner, who was admitted to the Motilal Nehru College, Prayagraj and has completed three years of her MBBS studies, should not be displaced from pursuing the course, at this stage.... Pending further orders, no adverse steps shall be taken against the petitioner on the basis of the impugned judgment of the high court," as reported by NDTV.

The MBBS student moved to SC against HC order

The student had moved to the apex court against the order of Allahabad High Court dated May 13 and sought that her admission to the MBBS course should not be cancelled on the ground that she did not possess a "C" certificate in the NCC examination.

Supreme Court granted interim relief to the student and scheduled the next hearing for July 15, 2022.

"On 26 June 2019, the petitioner had expressly stated in her communication to the authorities that she held an NCC 'B' certificate (which did not make her eligible to secure a reserved seat) and hence, requested that her enrolment in the NCC quota may be removed...," said the apex court.
