Blow to Telangna govt as HC grants local status to medical PG candidates
The Telangana High Court has delivered a crucial blow to the Revanth Reddy-led government, ruling that students who completed their MBBS or BDS degrees in the State should be considered locals.
The court's decision to stay the government's controversial order, which had declared that such students would not be recognized as locals, has provided much-needed relief to medical PG candidates across Telangana.
The ruling comes after the State government had issued an order excluding MBBS and BDS graduates from local status, a move that had sparked widespread protests among students.
With the High Court's intervention, medical aspirants can now breathe a sigh of relief, as they will be eligible for local quotas and other state-specific benefits. This unexpected ruling has left the State government in a difficult position, with the case likely to see further legal scrutiny in the coming days.
