The Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) Monday filed an appeal before the Supreme Court to annul Appeal Court’s verdict on it to register SAITM medical degree holders, Ada Derana reporter said.
This came after the Court of Appeal ruled on 31 January that the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) is legally eligible to issue medical degrees to the students.
Accordingly, the Appellate Court had also directed the SLMC to grant provisional registration to medical students passing out from SAITM.
That Writ Petition was filed by an MBBS undergraduate after the SLMC refused to register a batch of medical students who had passed out from the SAITM last year. The verdict was issued when the petition was taken up for hearing before a bench headed by Justice Vijith Malalgoda.
