New Delhi, Feb 4 : The Supreme Court has ruled that migration of a medical student from one college to another can be allowed only if both institutions are recognised by the Centre under the law.
A bench comprising Justices L Nageswara Rao and Indira Banerjee said: “The term ‘migration’ cannot be read out of context without reference to the Regulations which clearly provide that both colleges should be recognised under Section 11(2) of the Act.”
The bench said that a college in which the petitioner, MBBS student Anchal Parihar, is studying is yet to be recognised under the said Section and hence her migration cannot be permitted contrary to regulations.
