Delhi HC Allows Student to Continue MBBS
A student who got into a medical college for MBBS had his admission cancelled because of some problems in a big exam called NEET-UG.
The student went to the Delhi High Court and said he should be allowed to continue his studies.
The court agreed and said that the right to study further is very important and should not be taken away easily.
The court also said that there was no proof that the student did anything wrong.
So, the court allowed the student to go back to his medical college and continue his studies.
The Delhi High Court allowed a medical student to continue his MBBS course after his admission was cancelled due to alleged NEET-UG 2024 irregularities.
The court observed that the right to pursue higher education is an affirmative obligation on the state and cannot be curtailed lightly.
The student secured admission to Bhima Bhoi Medical College, Odisha, with an All India Rank of 28,106 in NEET-UG 2024.
The admission was cancelled after the NTA withdrew the student's result based on information from the CBI.
The court noted that the student was not an accused in the NEET-UG 2024 irregularities case but was only a witness.
