New Delhi, June 19: The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that it cannot be expected to monitor admissions in each and every college as it was an executive function.
A vacation bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy and Aftab Alam said courts can lay down a policy framwork in certain situations but the task of monitoring the implementation and process should be better left to the government.
“We should not be interfering in such admission matters because it not part of judicial functions. We have great reservations about such matters.
“The court has laid the policy that the admission (PG Medical) process should be completed by May 31 (every year).
We find that once the court has fixed the policy, it should not monitor admissions to each and every college as it is an executive function,” the bench said.
The apex court made the observations while posting for tommorow the hearing on an application moved by the Centre challenging the alleged refusal of the Baba Faridkot University to allocate a PG seat in MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) due under the All India quota.
According to the Centre, as per rules out of 18 seats available in the University 50 per cent has to be alloted to the central pool which works out to nine seats. But the University, it said, was willing to concede only eight, thus depriving the Centre of an additional seat.
