Supreme Court refuses to hear medical student's fee reduction plea: 'Can't say private, govt college should be at par'

The Supreme Court declined to hear a plea from Harshvardhan Singh, a medical student, who sought a reduction in his tuition fees, arguing that private and government colleges should offer equal treatment. Singh, who was allotted a seat under the general category, faced an annual fee of ₹18.9 lakh. The refusal underscores the court's stance on maintaining the status quo in medical education fee structures, reflecting broader debates on equity and access in higher education. This decision could impact future legal challenges concerning educational costs and the role of government versus private institutions.
