Hyderabad, July 24: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday refused to grant permission to two aspirants of MBBS course to attend counselling on the ground that they were underaged.
Justice R. Subhash Reddy was dealing with the petitions filed by Ms B.S. Krupalini and Mr Sai Deepak, seeking a direction that the NTR University allow them to participate in ongoing counselling for MBBS course.
The petitioner told the court that the government had issued orders exempting underaged aspirants who were a few days short of the required age of 17-years to take admission into MBBS.
They said that in a similar case, the court permitted a few others to attend counselling a few days ago and urged the court to grant them relief them in a similar way.
The court did not agree to their contention that the state government cannot make rules contrary to the guidelines issued by the Medical Council of India. It said that the MCI rule clearly says that the prescribed age to take admission into MBBS is 17-years.
