Hindustan Times  

The Punjab and Haryana high court has fined Government Medical College at Amritsar and its principal ₹1 lakh for illegally cancelling admission of an MBBS course aspirant. Based on score in NEET exam, Singh was allotted a seat by Baba Farid University, Faridkot, the nodal institute for conducting counselling for MBBS course, at Government Medical College at Amritsar under the freedom fighters’ category on August 31, 2024. However, principal of the college on October 10 wrote to BFUHS seeking clarification regarding the admission as Singh’s father was an adopted child of freedom fighter category. “State can’t oppose claims indiscriminately” The court underlined that in discharging its role as a litigant, the state must adopt a balanced and judicious approach, resisting the temptation to oppose the claims indiscriminately.
