Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals by Narayana Medical College against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision regarding the fee fixation for MBBS courses. The court examined the legality of the State Government's G.O. dated 06.09.2017, which unilaterally enhanced tuition fees without the requisite report from the Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee. The court ultimately ruled that the fee hike was arbitrary and directed adherence to the established regulatory framework for fee determination.
