Hyderabad: In a significant verdict, the Hyderabad High Court has upheld a rule which says that a candidate who has not cleared the first year Bachelor of Dental Sciences (BDS) in all the three subjects within three years can be discharged from the course.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan and Justice V. Ramasubramanian was dismissing petitions filed by BDS students who had joined the course during the academic years from 2008-09 to 2011-12 against the clause in the Revised BDS Regulations, 2007.
“We see no reason to declare the same as illegal or ultra vires,” the bench said. The bench directed that all candidates who had joined the course in 2012-13 and thereafter, who had the benefit of interim orders, be allowed to avail the Revised BDS Course (7th Amendment) Regulations, 2015.
