Senior advocate Dushyant Dave had submitted that the government order was “completely unconstitutional” and “without any authority”. He referred to the clause which says that there is no reservation of seats for super-speciality courses.
When asked about the date of issuance of the impugned order, Dave replied that it was issued on November 7, 2020. Referring to an old order providing special provisions for admissions of in-service doctors in medical courses, he submitted that the government order “singularly relies on the judgment of the Constitutional Bench without understanding. Because that judgment was with respect to post-graduate.”
