Even though the Maharashtra government has adopted the ordinance route to restore admission to 250 Maratha students in postgraduate medical and dental courses, the legal battle is far from over. Sources say the state government will file a caveat in court to avoid an ex parte stay on the ordinance.
Meanwhile, PG students whose admissions were cancelled under the Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC) Act, are consulting lawyers to decide further course of action so that the ordinance is not affected till it is converted into a law. Similarly, the students from the general category will approach the Bombay High Court or the Supreme Court after studying the contents of the ordinance.
