Staff Reproter :
The High Court on Thursday observed any candidate aggrieved at the MBBS admission result might apply to the Director General of the Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME) for remedy, and the director general must resolve the problems in seven days after the receipt of the application.
The HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Sardar Md Rashed Jahangir passed the order after holding hearing on a writ petition filed in this regard.
The writ petition filed on May 19 this year sought an order from the court to suspend the MBBS admission process for the academic session 2020-21, claiming the merit list was faulty. The court, however, rejected the petition with the above observation. Mohammad Humayun Kabir Pallob appeared in the court on behalf of the writ petition, while
Additional Attorney General Mohammad Mehedi Hasan Chowdhury and Deputy Attorney General Bipul Bagmar represented the state.
Later Bipul Bagmar said there is no legal bar on the government to continue the MBBS admission process for the academic session 2020-21 following the HC order.
Mohammad Humayun Kabir Pallob submitted the petition on behalf of 324 candidates who were disqualified as per the “faulty merit list”.
In the petition the petitioner requested the HC to direct the authorities concerned of government to cancel “faulty merit list” and to publish a fresh merit list by reevaluating the MBBS admission test result.
