HC dismisses plea seeking police to not give nod for DMK stir

The Madras High Court today turned down an infructuous plea to stop police from letting DMK hold a state-wide human chain tomorrow to seek President's assent to two bills to exempt Tamil Nadu from the ambit of NEET.
A bench of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice M Sundar dismissed the plea after Additional Advocate General C Manishankar told the court that the police has already denied the permission sought by DMK.
The plea had been made by a social activist M R Saravanan.
DMK had days ago announced that it would build a human chain on July 27 to press for Presidential assent to two Tamil Nadu Bills to exempt the state student from the ambit of NEET for admission into engineering college.

After hearing both sides, the bench dismissed the plea holding that the same has already become infructuous.
Both the ruling AIADMK and opposition parties, including DMK, are opposed to NEET, and hold that it would affect the interests of students, especially the rural and urban poor.
