NEET-SS : Supreme Court Allows Tamil Nadu Govt To Implement 50% In-Service Quota In Super Speciality Seats For Current Academic Year

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Tamil Nadu government to reserve 50 per cent of super speciality seats available in the current academic year in government medical colleges for NEET-qualified in-service doctors in accordance with a 2020 government order, the validity of which is currently under challenge before the top court. The present Division Bench led by Justice Gavai was called on to declare that the state government was, therefore, at liberty to implement the prescribed quota for in-service candidates for "the current and all subsequent academic years" till the revocation, modification, or replacement of the government order, or a court order to the contrary. Further, the court was urged to enjoin the centre from "creating a hindrance" for the Tamil Nadu government while they moved ahead with implementing the contentious government order. The Tamil Nadu government informed the Bench that earmarking 50 percent of the seats for in-service candidates "who were required to serve in rural areas" would ensure greater access to quality healthcare, especially for people living in far-flung corners of the state, and "strengthen its health infrastructure".
