Live LawThe High Court of Madhya Pradesh recently dismissed a petition filed by a NEET candidate seeking directions of the Court to allow him to change his domicile status to M.P. Citing Rule 6 of the Madhya Pradesh Medical Education Admission Rules, 2018, the division bench of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Arun Kumar Sharma held- The language of Rule 6 aforesaid, in our opinion is plain, clear and unambiguous. It further referred to the decision of the Apex Court in Maharishi Daynanda University v. Surjeet Kaur to argue that when Rule 6 is clearly prohibiting any correction, the Court was under no obligation to pass an order which would run contrary to statutory Admission Rules. Examining the language of Rule 6 of the Admission Rules and the judgment in Ayushi Rastogi case, the Court observed- The plain reading of the said findings of the Division Bench leaves no room for any doubt that aforesaid Rule was treated to be binding and mandatory.
