: The Telangana High Court will hear a writ plea challenging the actions of Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences in rejecting the readmission of a medical student. Justice T. Vinod Kumar took on file a writ plea filed by Dr Devi Sushma Nallakukala seeking a directive to the university to readmit her so as to enable her to complete the remaining two years of her MD Microbiology course.
The petitioner alleged that Gandhi Medical College had unjustly treated her absence during the pandemic as unauthorised, and prevented her from continuing her studies in the second year. The petitioner argued that the actions of the respondents violated the principles of natural justice, as no prior notice was served upon her, resulting in the loss of valuable academic years. The petitioner contended that the seat allocated for the academic year 2019-20 would go waste if she was not permitted to resume the course.
She pointed out that the respondent’s move to cancel her admission under the guise of rules and regulations violated UGC guidelines and an apex court order issued during the pandemic. The matter has been posted for further hearing. Justice K.
