The matter concerned the petitioner who was admitted to RD Gardi Medical College, Ujjain. Last year, the petitioner doctor got admitted to MS (obstetrics and gynaecology) course as a general female candidate under the NRI Quota seat.

However, later she had to resign from the concerned course because of special circumstances in her life and now the Madhya Pradesh medical education rule of double punishment, which has been challenged, is affecting the career of the petitioner.

As per the latest media report by the Times of India, the counsel for the petitioner doctor, Advocate Aditya Sanghi challenged the concerned Rule on the ground that rule 12(1) already enforces a monetary penalty for resigning from a PG medical seat. As per the rule, the concerned student needs to deposit the tuition fee for the whole course in the institute and only after that the concerned student gets back his/her original documents.

Referring to this, Advocate Sanghi argued that there cannot be another punishment making the students ineligible for the next three years for admission in the PG seat or in the case of the PG Diploma for two years from the date of resignation.
