Bhopal/Jabalpur: The Madhya Pradesh high court has directed Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre (BMHRC), administered by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), to return the original educational documents of a former MD (microbiology) student who quit the course midway.
The hospital had withheld her marksheets and other papers, demanding a penalty of Rs 25 lakh under a bond signed at the time of admission. A division bench of Chief Justice Alpesh Y Kogje and Justice Pramod Agrawal passed the interim order on Friday on Dr Priyanka Yadav’s petition, subject to its final outcome.
Yadav, admitted under the OBC quota in 2024-25, alleged excessive work pressure and additional assignments caused symptoms of depression, prompting her to leave. She said she had contemplated suicide on several occasions. Senior counsel Aditya Sanghi said she needed her marksheets, caste certificate and other documents to appear for NEET-PG again, but BMHRC demanded payment before releasing them.
Citing an earlier high court ruling, Sanghi argued that educational documents were personal assets and could not be withheld. He said Yadav could not afford the penalty and withholding her documents could jeopardise her career. The bench directed the hospital to return the documents pending its final decision.
