MBBS Fees Refund failure: Court slaps Rs 5.15 crore recovery notice on MP Medical College
Guna: Following the college's failure to comply with the court's direction to refund the fees to the MBBS students till April 10, the court of district magistrate has recently slapped a notice to a private medical college based in Guna to submit Rs 5.15 crore.
The court has directed the Guna tehsildar for collecting the amount from the non-applicant chairman of the Committee that runs the college and deposit the amount in the account of Admission & Fee Regulatory Committee (AFRC).
The management had allegedly charged the amount from the students who got admitted to the medical college. Afterwards, in 2019, the admissions were closed due to non-compliance with the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI) rules. The MCI debarred the medical college for admissions, withdrew its recognition and the medical college's certificate was also cancelled.
Even though its students got transferred to other government medical colleges, the college continued charging the fees, as per the Free Press Journal.
The Court had earlier asked the college to refund the fees of the MBBS students till April 10.
As per the latest media report by Free Press Journal, the college failed to comply with the order and thus the court passed an order where it directed to recover Rs 5,15,53,334 from the chairman of the Committee that runs the college.
Meanwhile, the Director of the medical college, on behalf of the committee, claimed before the court that the fees for all the second-year MBBS students were refunded by the college till 10.04.2021. The college had cleared the fee cheques of all the second-year students, whose payments were received by them. In fact, the payment of the third year students was also cleared from the college's end.
However, after a thorough hearing the court of the district magistrate passed the order and directed to recover Rs 5.15 crore from the medical college.
The daily adds that the then chairman of the medical college and also the vice-chairman had died during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
