HC slaps ₹5L fine on DME for unfair selection process
The New Indian Express
|September 19, 2024
THE Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court imposed a cost of 5 lakh on the director of medical education (DME) in Chennai on a petition filed by a man over unethical and unprofessional acts committed during the MBBS/BDS selection process in 2017-18, which affected his daughter's career.
-
Justice C Saravanan said the court could have ordered compensation had there been a clear admission of liability and fault by the director. Since the director has not filed a counter affidavit in the petition filed by VP Arunagiri in 2018, seeking compensation of ₹50 lakh over the unethical practices during the selection process, the court is inclined to order the cost to be paid to Arunagiri.
The court added it is open for the petitioner to file a suit for compensation on account of mental agony the petitioner's daughter would have suffered.

The Lost Art of Agenda-free Conversations
I spent last weekend in Fuengirola, a seaside town on Andalusia’s Mediterranean coast. Successive waves of cultures and subcultures have shaped this Spanish region, each leaving its imprint in indelible ways. Yet what struck me even more than the pristine blue waters and fusion architecture was a unique conversational practice. Across Fuengirola’s restaurants, I kept noticing the same thing: tables where the meal had clearly ended but no one was leaving.
