Telangana HC Orders KNRUHS to Consider 32 Students 'Local'
The Telangana High Court has told a university to allow 32 students to register as local candidates for admission.
This is temporary, while the court decides on a challenge to a rule.
The rule says students need to study in Telangana for four years to be considered local.
The students say they are permanent residents.
The court is following up on a previous decision and a promise made by the state.
This temporary decision will depend on the final ruling in the case.
Telangana High Court ordered KNRUHS to consider 32 students as local candidates.
The order is an interim measure, pending a decision on a petition challenging admission rules.
Petitioners contested a rule requiring four years of study in Telangana for local candidate status.
The court referenced previous orders and an appeal where the state agreed to consider the students.
The court clarified the order's impact would depend on the final case outcome.
