The Telangana High Court has directed Guru Nanak Homoeopathic Medical College to refund Rs 3.32 lakh in tuition fees to a student whose BHMS admission was cancelled after allotment. Justice Juvvadi Sridevi ruled that the cancellation, even if justified, cannot result in unjust enrichment of the institution.
Petitioner Done Shabari Priya was allotted a management quota seat in 2025 by Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences and paid the fee. The university cancelled her admission on January 23, 2026, saying she scored 128 marks in NEET against the required 144. The judge said the student should not suffer financially for any mistake by the respondents.
The court ordered the college to refund the entire amount within six weeks.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Telangana Today and The Hindu report the case with straight factual framing, leading with the refund order and quoting the judge's reasoning against unjust enrichment. Neither outlet highlights the university's error in initially allotting the seat despite the NEET shortfall. The key takeaway is the court's principle: institutions cannot retain fees for seats students are ultimately barred from using. The order sets a precedent for similar admission disputes in Telangana.
