HC Relief to Medical College, Stays KNRUHS Rs 20 Lakh Penalty over 'Minor Deficiencies'
Telangana High Court
Hyderabad: Granting relief to the Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, the Telangana High Court has stayed the Rs 20 lakh fine imposed by Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) on the medical college, pending adjudication on whether the University has the authority to levy such penalties.
The University had reportedly imposed the penalty on the medical college after noting several deficiencies in the medical college including inadequate infrastructure, insufficient patient intake etc.
Challenging the University's order, the college management filed a plea before the Telangana High Court and sought an order declaring the University's order dated 30.07.2025 asking the college to pay Rs 20 lakh penalty within 7 days, as illegal.

As per the latest media report by Telangana Today, the college challenged the validity of the fine and the short seven-day timeline issued by the University on July 30. The counsel for the college argued that the University acted beyond its powers in demanding monetary penalties for what were termed "minor deficiencies" observed during inspections.
