The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with the admission process for postgraduate medical courses in Delhi University (DU) and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) for the academic year 2017-18.
The Court, in its April 13 order, stated that the two varsities can go ahead with counselling for medical admissions.
Justice V Kameswar Rao said there was no prima facie case for not letting both the two universities conduct institutional counselling for postgraduate medical seats.
However, the Court added that the varsities should not pool their seats for common counselling as they were governed by two different reservation policies.
While hearing a bunch of petitions demanding an interim order restraining the two universities from holding common counselling sessions for postgraduate medical seats, the court said that the admission policy of the two universities did not violate Article 14 of the Constitution.
It noted that the Supreme Court had already upheld institutional reservation as constitutional and also observed that brochures providing for such reservation do not prima facie violate Article 14.
