"We have to put an end to this fraud, the High Court order is absolutely right. This NRI Business is nothing but a fraud", the CJI has said
The Supreme Court today dismissed a petition filed by the Punjab Government challenging the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision to quash its notification broadening the ambit of NRI Quota in medical admission.
A Chief Justice of India led bench today observed that the NRI quota had dangerous consequences.
"The candidates who have got thrice the marks are not getting admissions..", the CJI further observed after having heard Advocate Shadan Farasat, appearing for the Punjab government.
By way of the notification, the government had widened the definition of Non-Resident Indian for MBBS admissions.
High Court's bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Anil Kshetarpal on September 11, struck down the notification, terming it to be 'unjustified' as it defeated the original purpose of NRI Quota.
The top court's bench also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra further noted today that most of the applicants who had in fact applied under the widened NRI definition were persons from India.
