Return docus of PG student sans payment: HC orders med college
Bhopal: In an interim order, a division bench of the MP high court ordered Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur, to return the documents of a PG student from Bhopal, who quit her studies midway following the death of her father.
The court restrained the medical college from demanding Rs 30 lakh from the student according to the conditions of the bond until the case is finally decided.
Dr Nisha Rawat from Bhopal, in her petition, said that she took admission at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College in the postgraduate course in microbiology in the academic session 2023-24. She had to quit the course midway to take care of her mother following the death of her father.
She wants to join the community medicine department at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, as a demonstrator, but the Jabalpur medical college is demanding Rs 30 lakh from her to release her documents as per the condition of the bond she filled at the time of admission.
Senior Counsel Aditya Sanghi, appearing for the petitioner, contended that the National Medical Commission (NMC) has asked all the states and union territories to do away with the bond that medical students have to fill at the time of admission in a PG course.
The bench of Chief Justice S K Kait and Justice Vinay Jain, while ordering Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College to release the papers of the girl without the amount of penalty, said that the final outcome in the case would be subject to their final judgement.

Himanta also announced that 24 new medical colleges will be established across Assam by 2029. This expansion will significantly boost the state's existing network of 14 medical colleges.
