Chennai: The High Court has ruled that 7.5 per cent reservation will be given to government school students giving priority in medical and other vocational courses. MK Stalin Said.
In a letter to the DMK today, he said, “The Chennai High Court on Thursday ruled that the 7.5 per cent quota for priority in medical and vocational courses for public school students has been lifted and enlightened the lives of future generations.
The DMK has resolutely waged a legal and popular struggle against the ‘need’, which has shattered the medical dreams of the rural poor and public school students and unjustly taken the lives of students. We saw many battlefields with the support of our allies.
The last AIADMK in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The ruling opposition DMK The AIADMK, with the support of the parties involved, has resorted to political maneuvers to maintain its rule by hiding what the bills passed unanimously demanded a complete exemption from the NEET election. While the rulers were on stage, in order to overcome the strength of our struggle and the turbulent mood of the people, a resolution was passed of 7.5 per cent in medical education for public school students who pass the NEET examination. The rulers of the day were blindsided as it lay dormant for the governor’s approval. The then opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam fought for it.
Under my leadership a huge protest was held in front of the House of Governors. Thereafter, it was passed by the then Governor Banwarilal Purohit after approving the 7.5 per cent reservation for public school students in medical studies.
Following the formation of the Lok Sabha last May, a panel headed by former Delhi High Court judge Murugesan sought to provide 7.5 per cent reservation for students studying in government schools, not only in medical but also in vocational courses in engineering, agriculture, livestock, fisheries and law. The Commission was set up. As per the recommendation of the commission, 7.5 per cent of the above vocational courses were given to government school students.
Accordingly, during the event to issue orders for college admission to public school students who will benefit, I will inform them of their family situation and announce that the government will accept tuition fees, accommodation fees, consultation fees, and transportation fees for them. The relevant decrees were issued immediately.
7 thousand 876 public school students who got admission order on the basis of 7.5 percent reservation. 74 crore 28 lakh rupees has been handed over by the government for their study and related expenses and orders have been issued. 38 crore 31 lakh rupees has been released on behalf of the government as fees for 6 thousand 100 students till February 17, 2022.
Welfare cases have been filed in the Chennai High Court against the 7.5 per cent reservation given in medical and other vocational courses on the basis of priority for government school students. The Dravidar League and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam were the movements that waged the strongest struggle for the protection of the principle of social justice, which led to the First Amendment to the Constitution of India. As an extension of that we are still tirelessly participating in the legal battle.
Strong arguments were made on behalf of the Government of Tamil Nadu to secure the 7.5 per cent reservation which gives priority to government school students. On behalf of the federal government, which argued in this case, “On the basis of One Nation – One Merit Need to choose Conducted. The 7.5 per cent preference reservation law for government school students introduced by the Tamil Nadu government will dilute the quality of medical education. ”
Senior advocates appearing before the High Court on behalf of the State of Tamil Nadu effectively echoed the need for a 7.5 per cent quota giving priority to public school students, putting forward strong legitimate arguments against such arguments put forward by the Central Government in a manner that deprives the state of its rights and against the state education system.
After hearing the arguments on the welfare petitions, the Chennai High Court upheld the judgment, upholding the state government’s right to provide 7.5 per cent reservation for public school students and upholding justice.
In view of this significant judgment, the Attorney General of Tamil Nadu, R. Shanmugasundaram, who took up the arguments in the High Court, thanked Wilson, Senior Advocate and Member of the State Council, Senior Advocate Kapilsibal, and other dignitaries from various disciplines, including the Department of Education, Higher Education and the Legal Department, for their keen interest in providing data for the case. I will.
This is the third consecutive victory in the last 10 months in the Dravidian model state’s social justice journey. This is the first victory of the Supreme Court in a case filed by the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) demanding a 27 per cent quota for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the All India quota for medical studies. The Supreme Court’s ruling that the state of Tamil Nadu has the right to provide 50 per cent reservation for government doctors working in rural areas for medical superannuation is a second victory.
This is the third victory of the High Court’s ruling that the 7.5 per cent reservation that gives priority to public school students in medical and other vocational courses will go ahead. The success of this continuous ‘hat-trick’ gives us the impetus and inspiration to face many more domains with determination in the journey of social justice, ”he said.
