Telangana HC Upholds NCC Grace Marks, Addresses Land Disputes, and Quashes Drug Overcharging Cases
The Telangana High Court made several decisions affecting different aspects of society.
It upheld the state's decision to replace the NCC quota with a grace marks system for MBBS/BDS admissions.
In Warangal, the court directed the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) to maintain the status quo on a community hall construction project due to a land dispute.
Justice Anil Kumar ruled that the right to life extends to the dead, protecting burial grounds from encroachment.
Additionally, the court quashed cases against a drug manufacturer for overcharging, citing an eight-year delay in prosecution and the availability of alternative remedies.
