    Re-admit medical students, says HC

    The AP High Court on Thursday directed the NTR University of Health Sciences to allow the students, whose admissions had been cancelled on the ground that they did not have the qualifying marks, to attend classes again.

    While dealing with a petition filed by physically disabled students of MBBS first year classes, who have been barred by the university after pursuing studies for a year because they did not obtain the required 50 per cent marks in the entrance exam, after pursuing studies for a year, Justice Ramesh Ranganathan directed that the university permit the students to write the internal exams to be held at the end of May.

    The university had recently rejected the admission of 22 students and asked them to vacate the hostels. Eight of these students had approached the court seeking a suspension of the university.
