AGARTALA, July 3 (TIWN): On yet another major blow to the State Medical Board, Tripura High Court on Thursday issued a show cause notice to the State Government, seeking reply on ruling “No Admission” to MBBS students here at Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC).One Pronoy Kumar Poddar was restricted from his admission to MBBS degree course by the State Medical Board on June 30 on the ground of colour blindness.Talking to TIWN in this regard Advocate Arijit Bhowmik said, “The High Court Chief under the division bench of Chief Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice U. B. Saha on Thursday hearing the complaint filed by the deprived medical students, issued a show cause notice to the state government.”Adding to that advocate said that the HC had sought reply from the state government by July 9. Briefing the case the advocate said that this year on the month of June 26, Pronoy Kumar Poddar was asked to get a medical report on the ground of the colour blindness in order to get an admission to the MBBS degree course at AGMC.But Podder failed and later after he went to AGMC seeking admission to the degree course, the concerned board members restricted him saying that the board cannot give admission to him on the ground of colour blindness, said Bhowmik.He also said that even after seeking his medical report the board refused to give it saying the report cannot be provided as he will not get admission to the MBBS course at AGMC.

However, the final hearing of the case would be held on July 9 after the government would submit the report sought by the HC. It is worthy to be mentioned here that on yet another blow the negligence role and the illegal activities of the State Medical Board has been proved once again.
