Divya Delhi: 'Fraud Must End Now': SC rejects Punjab's appeal of HC NRI Quota rulingThe Punjab government's appeal against a high court ruling quashing its plan to enhance the "NRI quota" for undergraduate medical and dental admissions was rejected by the Supreme Court on Tuesday. “This fraud must come to an end now,” the court said. On September 10, the Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected the AAP-led state government's August 20 move to expand the NRI quota to include distant relatives “such as uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins” for medical college admissions under the 15% quota. “This is nothing but a money spinning machine,” Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra said. We'll reject all petitions. This NRI business is a scam. We will stop this...The bench ruled that precedents must give place to law.The SC affirmed the HC ruling, stating that candidates with three times better scores shall be denied admission to NEET-UG courses. The top court ruled that distant relatives of a ‘mama, tai, taya’ living overseas will be admitted before worthy candidates, which is unacceptable.
