Raj Kumar Makkad (Adv P & H High Court Chandigarh)     06 December 2012

Hc imposes rs 25k fine on maharashtra university of health s

NAGPUR: Coming to the rescue of terror victim from Jammu and Kashmir, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court has flayed the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) for harassing her and imposed a fine of Rs25,000 as compensation for the same. A division bench comprising justices Ashok Bhangale and Bhushan Gavai also ordered the Nashik-based university to declare her final year MBBS result in a week.

Rashmi Bhat approached the court after MUHS failed to declare her results on the grounds of awaiting letter of approval from Government Medical College (GMC) in Nagpur and Medical Council of India (MCI) for her admission from central government quota for terrorist victims. Ashutosh Dharmadhikari appeared for the petitioner while Anoop Singh Parihar represented the central and state governments.

The judges asked MUHS to pay the fine to court's Legal Services Sub-Committee and granted it the liberty to find out the officer responsible for this avoidable harassment and recover the fine amount from him. They also blamed the lack of coordination between the MUHS, central government and MCI for the mess.

The court rejected oral request for keeping this order in abeyance for few weeks made by the MUHS counsel Tejeswini Khade.
