The Supreme Court has cleared the way for government to deduct five marks from second time medical admission seekers. The bench passed the order after hearing the appeal filed by the state seeking a stay order on a High Court order. The regular appeal bench upheld the decision of the vacation chamber bench that stayed the High Court stay order on government decision to deduct five marks in medical admission. Earlier on September 12, the High Court stayed an order on the government’s decision to deduct five marks for second time medical admission seekers. On the day, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam, who moved for the state, said following this order, there is no bar to deduct five marks of second-time admission seekers in medical and dental colleges.
