Justice M Sathyanarayanan, who was appointed as third judge to decide on the matter, heard arguments from senior counsel for petitioners and Additional Advocate General before adjourning to hear the case pending submissions by senior counsel Vijay Narayan for Medical Council of India, to tomorrow.
A division bench, comprising Justice KK Sasidharan and Justice SM Subramniam, had yesterday delivered a split verdict on the writ appeals filed challenging the single judge order upholding the regulation of MCI in awarding incentive marks and reserving 25 per cent of seats to in-service candidates for the PG medical admissions.
On the other hand, Justice Subramaniam in his separate order quashed some of the clauses of the prospectus issued by the state government, terming them as "inconsistent and repugnant" to the 'Regulation of the Post Graduate Medical Regulation rules 2000" issued by the MCI.
The judge directed the state government to formulate the procedure for admission process in accordance with the MCI 9 and 9(IV) of the MCI regulations.
The vacation bench was specially set up to hear the matter.
