 Hyderabad: The fate of medical students on the rolls of TRR Institute of Medical Sciences and Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences will be decided by the High Court on December 29. A bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar is hearing a bunch of writ pleas filed by the management of the two colleges and the students who were admitted to the said colleges.

The dispute hovers over the decision of the National Medical Commission and the Medical Assessment Rating Board (MARB) to withdraw accreditation to the two medical colleges in the academic session 2021-22. The colleges, however, contended that the action was contrary to the provisions of the National Medical Commission Act.

It is further contended that the orders withdrawing accreditation were without jurisdiction. It was also argued that the matter is not just a financial concern but a potential threat to the academics of the candidates. The bench said that the matter required a detailed and final consideration and accordingly allotted the matter for hearing.

Court junks writ for arms license

Justice C.V. Bhasker Reddy of the Telangana High Court directed a person seeking an arms license to work out his remedies with the Arms Act.

The judge accordingly dismissed the writ petition. Khader Mohiuddin of Nizamabad invoked the writ jurisdiction and questioned a memo issued by the police commissioner of Nizamabad rejecting the petitioner's plea for an arms license. He would complain that the summary rejection without calling for a report was illegal.

The police said that the petitioner, a resident of Nizamabad, had a history of involvement in several criminal cases. It was also pointed out that the Arms Act provided for an alternative remedy, which, for unexplained reasons, was not chosen by the petitioner. The judge refused the relief sought by the petitioner leaving it open to him to work out his alternative statutory remedy.

HC reiterates police must stay away from civil disputes.

Justice C.V. Bhasker Reddy of the Telangana High Court yet again adjudicated upon a complaint against the police interfering in a civil dispute. The judge said there is a clear distinction between civil disputes and criminal cases.

The police must refrain from intervening in matters essentially civil in nature. The judge closed a writ plea filed by Nirav Gandhi, complaining against such interference by the Station House Officer at Mahankali Police Station, Secunderabad. He would complain that the police, at the instance of two persons, were forcing him to vacate a rental premises and had also coerced him to sign papers.

He was also frequently summoned without cause to the police station, he alleged. When it was brought to the notice of the court that the petitioner was physically assaulted, the court reiterated its direction to the police to steer clear of civil disputes.

In an unconnected matter dealing with another case of police interference, Justice Bhasker Reddy directed the police of Mulugu Town Station to lay hands off a civil dispute pending between Kukatla Lavanya and 3 others and Merugu Babu.

The petitioner would complain that there was a partition agreement between the petitioner and the private respondents, and although a civil suit was filed, the police were interfering. The police defended themselves by saying that the petitioner was only summoned for a preliminary inquiry.

Mahbubnagar civic authorities' inaction challenged.

Justice T. Vinod Kumar of the Telangana High Court on Wednesday took on file a writ plea complaining of failure on the part of the civic authorities of the Mahbubnagar to construct a drainage challenge to divert drain water in the district.

The judge is dealing with a writ plea filed by P. Krishnaveni challenging the inaction of the respondent authorities to construct the drainage channel to divert the drain water and to prevent it from entering into the petitioner’s scheduled property, even after making representations regarding the same.

The authorities would contend that sewer water is passing through the petitioner’s land on its natural course and that it is not suggestible to divert the water from its natural path. Justice Vinod opined that it is the duty of the respondents to take care of tanks and not allow them to become another sewer pond or tank.

He also observed that if the passage of water causes problems for local residents, it could lead to health issues. The judge directed the civic authorities and the collector to file their respective responses in two weeks.

Civil court order on resignation of court employee set aside.

A two-judge bench of the Telangana High Court set aside an order passed by the City Civil Judge on the administrative side belatedly accepting a letter of resignation.  The said authority had earlier rejected the resignation letter.

The bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar was dealing with a writ petition filed by N. Prameela, who was appointed to the post of a copyist after the death of her husband in 1998.

In 2009, the petitioner underwent major surgery, and since she was sick for a prolonged period of time, she submitted her resignation. Her resignation was rejected in 2011, and the next year the Authority proceeded to accept her resignation, even as the Authority changed its stance so did the petitioner.

In her present writ petition the petitioner successfully contended that once her resignation was rejected, there was no resignation pending to be accepted. The order made in February 2012 accepting her resignation was set aside by the division bench.
