Hearing the case, a single bench of Justice Ravindra Maithani said that students cannot be left in academic uncertainty due to administrative decisions of the college. Apart from this, the bench also said that this college is the only institute in Uttarakhand to have a degree course in homeopathy, hence it is completely unfair to deprive the students who got admission under valid criteria and to hamper their further studies.

According to the case, the college had withheld the results of these students on the ground that they had not appeared in the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) exam.

The college council, however, argued that the NEET requirement for homeopathy courses was made applicable from July 5, 2021 even though these students were admitted in the year 2019 and 2020.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that In a major relief to the BAMS students pursuing their medical education at various Ayurvedic colleges of the State, the Uttarakhand High Court quashed the retrospective application of a tuition fee hike. It was decided to extend the revised increased tuition fees for 2019 to the admissions that took place in the preceding years as well.

However, the Court opined that the student was liable to pay the fees prevalent at the time of the admission. It also clarified that fees could not be revised unless the student completed the course.
