Madurai The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has asked the State government to take a call as to whether aided schools managed by Revenue Department/district administration can be given the benefit of the Tamil Nadu Act 34 of 2020, in view of the 7.5 % reservation for NEET qualified government school students. The court was hearing the appeal preferred by the State against the order of a Single Bench that held that an aided school in Thanjavur district came within the meaning of a government school in view of the fact that it was managed by Revenue Department/district administration while allowing a petition filed by a medical aspirant D. Arun of Thanjavur district.
