Four questions arose for the consideration of the High Court (1) Is the concession contemplated by rule 5 of the scheme limited only to doctors in house jobs as on 22.8.89 or available to all those who were in house jobs as on 1.8.87 and later? (2) Is a candidate who has already been admitted to, and is 901 undergoing a diploma course eligible to seek admission to a degree course under rule 57 (3) Is it open to a candidate who is a student in a post graduate diploma course in one speciality to seek admission to the postgraduate degree course in any particular special ity? (4) Is it permissible for a candidate who is undergoing a diploma course to abandon it in the middle and join a degree course? The High Court expressed no opinion on the latter two ques tions leaving it to the Principal of the College to decide the same in due course but answered the first two questions in favour of the writ petitioners.
