AI extract

Outcome

All twelve writ petitions disposed of. WPs 9394/2024, 10382/2024 and 26727/2024: nothing survives, students already accommodated and fees paid. WP 30315/2024: Government Authorities/Directorate of Medical Education directed to recover Rs.20,80,000/- from the closed G R Medical College and pay the petitioner within eight weeks (on her furnishing the payment receipt, subject to DME verification). Remaining eight petitions (common order): transferee colleges' fee demand capped at Rs.20,00,000/- per academic year for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years; students to pay variance fee accordingly. Pending I.As. disposed of.

Issue for consideration

Whether the private medical colleges accommodating the displaced G R Medical College students can demand the Management Quota fee prescribed by the Directorate of Medical Education (approx. Rs.27,00,000/- per annum for the second academic year onwards), notwithstanding the lower fee at which the students were admitted to G R Medical College as per the KEA prescription. +2 more

Court's answer

Common order (WPs 10871, 11329, 11334, 11740, 15703, 30314, 31820, 34035 of 2024): the demand of the transferee private colleges is limited to Rs.20,00,000/- per academic year for the second, third and fourth academic years (against the approx. Rs.27,00,000/- being demanded), the colleges having left fixation of a reasonable fee to the Court's discretion.

Ratio / Principle

WPs 9394/2024 and 10382/2024 are disposed of: the petitioners stand accommodated in different colleges, have paid the fees, and have no subsisting grievance; considering the NMC's stand (no objection to students pursuing MBBS in the transferee and re-transferee colleges), nothing survives in these petitions.

Key takeaways

WP 26727/2024 is disposed of: the petitioner having been accommodated in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College in pursuance of her own request, nothing survives in the writ petition.ratio¶478
WP 30315/2024: the Additional Government Advocate did not dispute that G R Medical College was liable to refund the second-year MBBS fee upon the college's closure; accordingly the Government Authorities/Directorate of Medical Education are directed to recover Rs.20,80,000/- from G R Medical College and pay the petitioner (who paid the said amount to KIMS after transfer), to do the needful within eight weeks, upon the petitioner furnishing the requisite payment receipt, subject to DME verifying the payment.ratio¶491

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court of Karnataka (Division Bench: D K Singh and Venkatesh Naik T, JJ.; order per D K Singh, J.), 11.08.2025 — Batch of twelve writ petitions (Arts. 226/227) by MBBS students originally admitted to G R Medical College (AY 2021-22 and 2022-23), whose admissions were cancelled by the NMC and whose college was closed after withdrawal of recognition; the Court had earlier directed the KEA to accommodate the 150 affected students in other private colleges. Disputes concerned the fee demanded by the transferee colleges per the DME-prescribed Management Quota (approx. Rs.27,00,000/- p.a.) versus the lower KEA-notified fee at admission, and the impugned KEA/DME fee-fixation communications dated 19.03.2024 and 20.03.2024 (Rs.27,12,450/- Management / Rs.32,62,450/- NRI). Held: (i) WPs 9394/2024, 10382/2024 and 26727/2024 disposed of as nothing survives — students already accommodated and fees paid, with no NMC objection to continuation in transferee/re-transferee colleges; (ii) WP 30315/2024 — the State not disputing G R Medical College's refund liability, the Directorate of Medical Education directed to recover Rs.20,80,000/- second-year fee from that college and pay the petitioner (who re-paid at KIMS), within eight weeks, on her furnishing the receipt and subject to verification; (iii) common order in the remaining eight petitions — the colleges' demand limited to Rs.20,00,000/- per academic year for the second to fourth years, students directed to pay the variance fee accordingly. The fee demand was moderated by the Court (to which the colleges deferred) rather than the impugned communications being quashed. No precedent cited.

prospectus issued by the NMC⁶ and against the existing prescribed guidelines, and the NMC directed the cancellation of the admissions and took punitive action against the G R Medical College, thereby the said college was closed down.

The students who had taken admission in the said G R Medical College were accommodated in different Medical Colleges/Institutions. Some of the colleges where the some of the students were transferred did not permit the students to take admission and they were retransferred and accommodated in the different colleges. The petitioners in these petitions have been accommodated in the different colleges and they have paid the fees. They do not have any subsisting grievance.

Learned counsel for the NMC submits that keeping in mind the interest of the students; we have no objection for the students pursuing their MBBS course from the transferee and re-transferee colleges.

initially transferred from the G R Medical College to Respondent No.6 i.e., Shyamanuru Shivashankarappa Institute Of Medical Sciences by the KEA⁷ .

In pursuance of the request made by the petitioner, the KEA allotted respondent No.7-Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Medical College, K. G. Halli, Bangalore to the petitioner, and the petitioner has taken admission in said college.

In view of the aforesaid fact that the petitioner has

been accommodated in pursuance of her request in Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Medical College, nothing survives in this writ petition and accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of .

In W.P.No.30515/2024

The petitioner was allotted G R Medical College, respondent No.4, by the Karnataka Examinations Authority to study MBBS Course under the Management Quota for the Academic Year- 2021-22. The NMC directed the said college to be closed down for want of infrastructure and other facilities as well as the admissions made illegally (allegedly). The similarly situated students (150) whose admissions were cancelled had approached this Court by filing the petitions and this Court directed the State Government/KEA to accommodate these 150 students in different Medical Colleges/Institutions, over and above, their sanctioned intake of the students to save the career of the students earlier admitted in G.R.Medical College. The petitioner had paid fee of Rs.20,80,000/- in G R Medical College for pursuing her second year of MBBS Course and thereafter she was transferred to KIMS/Respondent No.6 where also she was made to pay fees for studying second year course. The prayer in this writ petition is that the G R Medical college and the Government Authorities be directed to refund the fee of Rs.20,80,000/- paid by the petitioner in the G R Medical

College for the second year of MBBS Course from the said college.

Mr. Sudev Hegde, learned Additional Government Advocate does not dispute the fact that the G R Medical College was liable to refund the fee that was taken from the petitioner for the second year MBBS Course, in the event of the said college having been closed down.

We, therefore of the view that the writ petition be disposed of with the following directions:

i. The Government Authorities/Directorate of

Medical Education are directed to get back the fee from the G R Medical College of Rs.20,80,000 /- and

pay the same to the petitioner inasmuch as she has paid the said amount to the respondent No.6 - KIMS where she was transferred to pursue her further studies.

ii. The Directorate of Medical Education should do the needful within a period of eight weeks from today.

iv. The petitioner is directed to furnish the

requisite receipt of payment of fee in G R Medical College before the Directorate of Medical Education for taking necessary steps for recovery of the fee from the

G R Medical College.

v. The Directorate of Medical Education shall also verify whether the petitioner has actually paid the fee of Rs. 20,80,000/- to the respondent No.4College.

With these observations, the writ petition is

disposed of.

(Common order)

The petitioners in this batch of the writ petitions are

the students who were allotted G R Medical College to pursue MBBS Course for the Academic Year - 2022-23 under the Management Quota by the Karnataka Examination Authority.

HC-KAR

The NMC found that the allotment of the students to

the said college on admissions of the students were is illegal and directed for cancellation of the admissions of the students in the G R Medical College for the Academic Session - 2022-23.

The NMC withdrew its recognition to the said college and as a result, the said college came to be closed down. The students of G R Medical College approached this Court by filing various writ petitions and the Division Bench of this Court directed the KEA to accommodate 150 students admitted by the G. R. Medical College for MBBS Course for the academic year 2022-23 in different private colleges. As a result of the said direction issued by this Court, these students have been accommodated in different medical colleges and they are pursuing their studies in the respective medical colleges.

Now, the question involved in these petitions is payment of fee demanded by the private colleges where the students of G. R. Medical College have been accommodated. The colleges are demanding the fee as prescribed by the Directorate of Medical Education under the Management Quota.

45 - NC: 2025:KHC:31087-DB WP No. 10871 of 2024 C/W WP No. 9394 of 2024 WP No. 10382 of 2024 HC-KAR AND 9 OTHERS

However, the students submit that they were admitted in the G.R. Medical College as per the fee prescribed by the KEA.

On behalf of the petitioners - students it has been submitted that they are not liable to pay the excess fee to the private medical colleges where they have been accommodated in pursuance of closing down the college. We have put it to the respective colleges who are before us for the concession in the fee demanded by them. The colleges have left to the discretion of the Court to fix the fee, which may be reasonable and justified.

It appears that the colleges are demanding Rs.27,00,000/- for the second academic year and onwards. We deem it fit to limit the demand of the private colleges to Rs.20,00,000/- for the second, third and fourth academic year. We therefore direct the petitioners - students to pay the variance fee to the respective colleges at Rs.20,00,000/- each year for the second year to fourth year.

With the aforesaid directions, we dispose of the writ petitions.
