Bombay High Court directs the Fee Regulatory Authority to reconsider a unilateral 10% fee reduction for private medical colleges after hearing stakeholders, emphasizing procedural fairness and operational cost justification. Institutions must be given reasons for fee adjustments to ensure transparency and compliance with natural justice principles.

The Supreme Court has ruled that when regulatory failures force the relocation of MBBS students, the defaulting medical college must bear the financial burden of tuition paid to transferee institutions. This sets a critical precedent ensuring that educational continuity for students does not become a cost borne by innocent private colleges or the public system.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000 mandate parity in stipend for private college students with government counterparts, establishing statutory obligation.
