RIYA GEORGE vs KANNUR MEDICAL COLLEGE

The Supreme Court ruled under Article 32 of the Constitution that the petitioner, a medical student, is entitled to compensation for the loss of an academic year due to the cancellation of her admission by Kannur Medical College, which failed to comply with the directives of the Admission Supervisory Committee. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to the NEET guidelines established in Sankalp Charitable Trust v Union of India and Modern Dental College and Research Centre v State of Madhya Pradesh, holding that the petitioner’s admission was valid until the cancellation was deemed unlawful. The Court ordered the first respondent to compensate the petitioner for her loss.
