Allahabad HC Summons UP Official Over Medical College Reservation Compliance
The Allahabad High Court has summoned the Uttar Pradesh social welfare department's principal secretary over alleged admissions beyond reservation limits in four medical colleges. The court noted the state had previously committed to implementing the 2006 reservation Act, which caps reservations at 50%, but admissions appear to exceed this. The government cited departmental disagreements, which the court rejected, emphasizing the state is a single entity responsible for compliance. The case will be heard again on October 13.
