Navdeep Kaur Gill And Others vs State Of Punjab And Others on 29 March, 2011
The stand of the private medical colleges was that earlier fee was fixed after taking
into account income from NRI seats but NRI seats could not be filled up, which
called for revision thereof. The rate for NRI seats was $ 75000 for MBBS, $
30000 for BDS and $ 15000 for BAMS/BHMS. This Court in CWP No.97 of 2007
Sohrab Arora v. State of Punjab found that admissions under NRI quota were
being made from non NRIs in violation of directions of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court and issued contempt notice to the State which led to issuance of
corrigendum by the State dated 13.7.2007. As per the said corrigendum, the
colleges were debarred from admitting non NRIs against NRI seats. Colleges
protested on the ground that fee had been fixed by wrongly taking into account
extra income from NRI seats.
