HC allowed medicos to pay half the fees

Chalimeda Ananda Rao Institute of Medical Sciences Karimnagar, MNR Medical College Kukatpally, Medicity Institute of Medical Sciences Medchal and MNR Dental College Sangareddy approached the apex court, challenging the high court’s ruling.

 Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association and Telangana Junior Doctors Association, which fought the case on behalf of the students in the high court, have already filed caveats before the apex court. Ever since the high court found fault with the fee structure, the state government had remained silent and did not cha llenge the court order while the private medical colleges moved the Supreme Court. 

The state government had even conceded before the high court that fixing the fee was the job of the admission and fee regulatory committee (AFRC) headed by a retired high court judge. The state had erroneously fixed the fee for the 2016-2019 block period even after the job was completed by the AFRC. 

When there was pressure on the AFRC to review and raise the fee structure that was already decided by it for the block period, the committee refused to take a relook at its decision. The HC allowed the students to pay half of the fees and continue their studies. SC junks med colleges’ plea on retaining fee fixed by T govt Hyderabad : The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain petitions filed by four private medical colleges of Telangana seeking retention of the exorbitant PG medical fees fixed by the state government. 

A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and AS Bopanna dismissed the pleas at the threshold stage itself. When counsel for the four colleges requested the bench to permit them to withdraw their petitions so that they could file a review petition before the Telangana HC, the bench dismissed all the four pleas as withdrawn. The HC had struck down GOs (Nos. 41 and 43) issued fixing high fees for PG medical courses.

B’luru family flying to US spends ₹8L, gets a raw deal 

Bengaluru : May 6 was a ‘dream come true’ day for Karthik, an IT professional and his family in Bengaluru’s Electronics City as they were relocating to the US.

 He paid Rs 8 lakh for business class tickets on Emirates airlines to transport the maximum luggage and travel with his wife Jaya, and two kids. But little did they realise that it would turn out to be an unpleasant experience at every step. 

The 39-year-old had joined an IT company in the US in February. After finding a home in Princeton, New Jersey, he returned to Bengaluru on April 28 to take his family there. “We had 16 bags and were travelling with our toddler and infant. I had informed the airline’s customer care about the purpose of our travel and the specific need for children seats for the chauffeur cab service,” said Karthik. TNN
