No different medical school fees: HC
The Telangana High Court restricted several medical schools to require different fees and took classes under excuses. The panel of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Judge Renuka Yara heard a writ appeal filed by Advaita Shankar and others, challenging a judge to dismiss his writ request. Students believe that their admission is based on a fixed fee structure and that the sudden demand for additional payments midway through the course is arbitrary and financially burdensome. S. Ravi, a senior attorney who appeared for the petitioner, noted that the single judge had earlier approved an interim order that would allow students to pay part of the fees while considering the written petition. This protection was lifted after the writ petition was dismissed. Senior lawyer stressed
Rates at this stage will cause serious difficulties. The panel directed the respondents’ agencies to submit a response. To protect the appellant’s interests, the panel directed respondents to allow students to continue their studies without any obstacles and prohibited them from charging any additional fees until further hearings.

HC puts aside SBI’s e-auction notice
Justice T. Vinod Kumar accused SBI of the company’s electronic auction of property in violation of Supreme Court regulations and announced laws. In his judgment on far-reaching imports, the judge declared that the power of directors suspended during the liquidation period could still be maintained in the actions of secured creditors “if they have a negative impact on the liquidation process or interests of other creditors”. The judge allowed Shra Energy Private Limited to submit a company application, challenging the bank’s authority to initiate property sales in Patancheru. The petitioner pointed out that his proposal to pay Rs 300 crore under a settlement would be better than Rs 250 crore offered in the electronic auction. The bank argues that since it is not outside the liquidation process, it can be independently said that property under the Sarfaesi regulations (Securitization and reconstruction and enforcement of security interests of financial assets). The court ruled that as the official liquidator entered the company’s shoes, the secured creditor must give notice to the borrower (in this case the official liquidator). The judge also persuaded the bank to defend that non-issuing notice would not be fatal to the auction. The judge agreed with the official liquidator, and he said that under the Thesarfaesi Act, his rights were denied.
