MP High Court Orders BHMS Registration Despite College Dispute
A group of students finished their homoeopathy medical course and received their degrees.
They had first been given provisional registration by the State Council of Homoeopathy.
The students later completed their required internship and asked for permanent registration.
The council did not decide their applications because the college’s permission for their admission year was disputed.
The students said they should not be punished for a disagreement involving their college and government authorities.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court agreed that the students had followed the official admission process.
The court said the council must consider their applications instead of leaving them undecided.
This order requires consideration of registration applications, rather than automatically granting permanent registration.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court directed the State Council of Homoeopathy to consider permanent-registration applications from BHMS graduates.
The students completed their course, examinations, compulsory internship, and received final degrees after provisional registration in 2023.
They were admitted through the state AYUSH counselling process under a 2017 interim court order and enrolled by Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University.
The college’s permission to admit students during the 2017-18 academic session was disputed because of alleged regulatory deficiencies.
The court said the council could not keep the applications pending indefinitely over a dispute between the college and regulatory authorities.
