MP High Court Orders Issuance of MBBS Degree After 13-Year Domicile Dispute
The Madhya Pradesh High Court overturned a 2013 order that cancelled Shailja Pandey's MBBS admission due to a domicile dispute, directing Rani Durgavati University to issue her marksheet and degree. The court found that the domicile certificate was issued based on an additional condition improperly treated as mandatory. While the degree confirms her medical qualification, Pandey must obtain registration under the 2023 medical regulations to practice. The National Medical Commission will assess her fitness, potentially requiring a special test within three months.
