The Karnataka High Court has ordered a stay on the Consortium of Medical Engineering and Dental Colleges (Comed-K) in Karnataka from redoing the entire process of counseling of post-graduate dental courses before May 31.
A single-member bench on May 25 had ordered Comed-K to redo the entire counseling process for PG courses after the process was challenged by students who had been refused counseling.
The judge passed the orders while hearing the plea of 12 dental graduates, to whom the Comed-K had refused counseling on the ground that the counterfoils they had produced did not carry the seals / signatures of the bank, and in some cases the demand drafts produced were that of nationalised banks.
The division bench headed by Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen, while hearing the appeal filed by Comed-K on Monday, stayed the single judge’s order. The case has been adjourned to May 30.
