Supreme Court On NEET : Govt must refund candidates

PANAJI: Welcoming the strictures passed by the Supreme Court against the state government in the NEET imbroglio, Congress spokesperson Sudip Tamankar said that the government must pay compensation to the NEET students who incurred expenses of about 25 lakh in the Supreme Court to fight their case.

Briefing mediapersons, Tamankar also accused the vigilance department of being chief minister Manohar Parrikar's "agents" for not lodging a FIR in a NEET-related complained filed by him.

Tamankar accused Parrikar of using the state's full strength to win the NEET case in the Supreme Court but still losing it. Tamankar said the state Congress unit had submitted representations to the medical council of India which helped win the case for the non-NEET students.

Tamankar said it is unfortunate for Goans that the local vigilance department will not lodge a FIR on his criminal complaint regarding the NEET case. He said the "criminal conspiracy" needs to be unearthed.

Tamankar said that if the vigilance department still does not lodge a FIR on his complaint, he will soon file an addendum to his complaint and then approach the courts to seek their direction to the vigilance department to lodge a FIR.

Responding to reported allegations by vigilance department officials that he was filing cases without giving evidence, Tamankar said he gave enough prima facie evidence for them to lodge FIRs on his complaints.

He said the local vigilance officers were "agents" of Parrikar and are therefore involved in manipulations.

He said there are about 600 complaints lodged by citizens but unless they go to court, the vigilance department does not file FIRs.

Pvt medical colleges knew NEET verdict before SC judge: Talk with Prashant Bhushan

Prashant Bhushan began practising as an Advocate in the Supreme Court of India in 1983, specialising in Public Interest Litigation. His main areas of interest have been human rights, the environment and ensuring that public servants are accountable.



Live Law: How is Judicial Appointment Commission, as you propose, different from National Judicial Commission?
Prashant Bhushan: National Judicial Commission, as the government has proposed,  is an ex-officio body of some functionaries of the government and some judges, but they will not have the time to do this job properly. If one has to do selection properly, one will have to spend time over it. One will be required to go through the credentials of large number of entities and then make a selection from amongst them in a proper systematic and non-arbitrary manner. That requires time.
Law Minister, CJI, etc. do not have the time to do this. One needs a full time body consisting of retired judges, eminent people from civil society and retired officials to be able to do this. In England, the Judicial Appointment Commission which was created as part of the reforms following Constitutional Reforms Act, 2005 is a non–departmental public body. It consists of members of civil society, judges and members from the legal profession.
Live Law: The leader of the opposition has talked about how the clamour for post retirement jobs is affecting the independence of the Judiciary. Your view?
Prashant Bhushan: This is because the power of assigning these post retirement jobs is with the government. Therefore, government can patronise judges by giving them jobs when they retire and that compromises their independence. But if this selection is being done by different people then there will be no problem.
For instance, what we have argued in the case of Lokpal there could be a selection committee consisting of seven people, out of which two would be from the political class who would have conflict of interest i.e. Prime Minister and leader of opposition; and the five others would be outside the political class.
Live Law: Many legal pundits have argued instead of immediately appointing judges to a post retirement job, a “cooling off” period of two years would suffice and that such a system will no longer interfere with this system. Do you agree with this?
Prashant Bhushan: Yes, of course. But what I feel is that with respect to retired judges, what jobs should be given to them should be decided by the same Judicial Appointment Commission. If at all retired judges are to be given jobs, it should not be decided by the government.
Live Law: From wanting to become a philosopher to becoming a very successful lawyer, how would you describe your journey?
Prashant Bhushan: Well, I got into law partly because my father was a very successful lawyer. I kind of got into it inadvertently but when I got into it, I got more and more involved with public interest issues of all kinds. My interest became very wide and varied. When any issue of public interest arose, whether it pertained to civil liberty, human rights, corruption, environmental issues or socio-economic rights of the poor, I would happily get involved.
Soon, I realized that law should not be seen as means of making money, but as means of making substantial contribution to the cause of justice. One of the great things of being a public interest lawyer is that you come to learn about a large number of important public issues from the persons who are experts in the field on a one-to-one basis, something you could never do otherwise. It’s a very rich and rewarding experience.
Live Law:  What advice would you give to young budding lawyers?
Prashant Bhushan: Do not look at law as a means for making money. Look at law as an instrument for securing justice to people. Engage in issues of public interest. They should understand what is happening in the country and society and should use their professional skills to secure justice to people.
Today, very little justice is being done for the poor of the country. Most people do not have access to the judicial system at all or a chance to go to a lawyer, and if they do, most of them languish in court for decades. Even the cases that are decided are very often decided for wrong consideration for corruption and incompetence. There are very few people who are able to get effective justice in the country. Lawyers are too busy making money without contributing much to the cause of justice.

MCI Seek review of apex court judgment : NEET

The Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Centre have moved the Supreme Court seeking review of the judgment declaring as unconstitutional the single National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) introduced by the MCI and Dental Council of India for admission to graduate and post graduate medical and dental courses.


A Bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir (since retd.) and Justices Anil R. Dave and Vikramajit Sen had by a majority of 2:1 quashed the NEET on July 18. Mr. Justice Dave, in a separate judgment, held that the test was valid.
In its petition, the MCI said “If the July 18 judgment is not stayed, it will seriously prejudice the progress of the process of holding common entrance test which has been evolved over the period of more than five years of deliberations, judicial orders. The majority judgment is based on series of error apparent on the face of record, and is in ignorance of statutory provisions.”


In its petition, the Centre said that ensuring uniform standards for medical education was of paramount interest to the patient and the single-window system to draw the merit list was a step in that regard. Holding of common entrance test came about as a consequence of the Supreme Court’s orders in the Simran Jain case, during the hearing of which a decision was taken that the MCI would hold a single entrance test since merit in medical education was essential to ensure quality healthcare to citizens.
It said the guidelines annexed to NEET ensured that the single-window admission system would be in breach of neither the rights of States nor would it interfere with rights of religious and linguistic minorities.


Sankalp, a non-governmental organisation, also sought review of the NEET judgment. It said the issue regarding holding a common entrance test for graduate and postgraduate professional courses was in teeth of the law laid down by a seven bench judgment of this Court in the P. Inamdar case.
It said the court had not appreciated that this court in the ‘Preeti Srivastava case’ had also held that a State had the right to control education, including medical education, so long as the field was unoccupied by any Union legislation.
Sankalp said: “As has been rightly held by the minority judgment that under NEET though the students can be selected only on the basis of their merit, it would be open to the States to follow their reservation policy and it would also be open to the institutions based on religious or linguistic minority to select students of their choice, provided the students so selected have secured minimum marks prescribed at NEET.” The petitioners sought oral hearing of the matter.

Government of India Decisions on NEET


Government of India Decisions on NEET :september


It further noted that it is "sad as the state of Goa and its functionaries have allowed ingress of systemic anarchy, throwing propriety to the winds, possibly harbouring the attitude of utter indifference and nurturing an incurable propensity to pave the path of deviancy".
The SC held that after it passed the judgment on July 18, protecting the interests of NEET students, the (state) additional secretary (health) on July 25, conveyed the decision of cancellation of provisional admissions given to the students on the basis of NEET merit. The SC termed this decision as "some kind of infantile wisdom which may, in different terminology, be called depraved sense of egocentric knowledge".
The court lashed out, "A deliberate labyrinth which not only assaults the majesty, sanctity and purity of law, but also simultaneously creates a complex situation requiring this court to intervene in a different manner to redeem the situation as far as possible so that there is some sanguine cathartic effect."


State quota to be filled under PG rules:
The Supreme Court said that none of these candidates shall be allowed to encroach upon the streams that have already been allotted to the petitioners who were admitted having been qualified in the NEET examination, the SC held.
Regarding some unfilled seats due to leaving of students, the court said that if the vacancies have occurred, the same can also be filled up on the basis of merit stipulated under the rules.
During the hearing of the case, senior counsel appearing for the Goa government, submitted that NEET, having been declared ultra vires, the acceptance or non-acceptance by the state government has to pale into insignificance. He further said that the state government, keeping the high court order in view wherein it was mentioned that admission should be provisional, had issued the order of cancellation of the admissions given to the successful NEET candidates.
Dealing with the argument of the state government, the apex court said that when the matter was before the SC, the HC should not have entertained and passed any order. The SC bench said that the problem, to some extent, has been created by the interim order passed by the HC. "Yet we are obliged to state that the order of the HC is also quite clear to the effect that interim order was subject to further orders that may be passed by it depending upon the order passed by the SC. Thus, the order passed by the HC was a guarded one," the bench said.
