‘It will be throttling the spirit of democracy if it was not allowed to examine the impact of NEET’
The State government has questioned the maintainability of a case filed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State secretary K. Nagarajan in the Madras High Court against the constitution of Justice A.K. Rajan Committee to study the impact of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) on medical college admissions in the State. In a counter affidavit, filed through Advocate-General R. Shunmugasundaram, the government said the petitioner had failed to plead as to how any of his rights or that of the public had been violated by mere constitution of a fact-finding body. “The petitioner has presumed the outcome of the report and the action the government will take on the report, which is entirely hypothetical and is nothing but conjecture. Thus, the petition has been filed on an imaginary basis,” said the counter affidavit sworn by Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan.
