Contempt – Fine of Rs fifty lacs imposed
Contempt Petition (Civil) No.390 of 2011 in Civil Appeal No.4060 of 2009-Decided on 27-2-2014.
whether the contemnors have violated the interim orders passed by this Court on 27.5.2009 and 27.1.2011 in Civil Appeal No. 4060 of 2009 in the matter of sharing of MBBS seats between the respondent private medical college and the State Government. …. We may reiterate that the above-mentioned situation has been created by the contemnors themselves and due to their illegal and unlawful acts, by admitting students over and above the sanctioned strength, the students who were later admitted from the list of State quota, could not get the quality medical education, which otherwise they would have got. Further, they were also driven to unnecessary litigation before the High Court creating uncertainty to their future….. The excess 107 admissions made by the Medical College for the MBBS during the year 2011-12 and the previous year, be adjusted in the session 2014-15 in full taking note of the full sanctioned strength and the balance seats be adjusted in the year 2015-16. The unconditional and unqualified apology tendered by the contemnors is accepted, but the contemnors are directed to pay a fine of Rs.50 lakhs..read more
