The Andhra Pradesh High Court has dismissed a plea by an MDS student seeking to continue his course, holding that under the Dental Council of India’s Master of Dental Surgery Course Regulations, 2017, the course must be completed within a maximum of six years from the date of admission, a limit the petitioner could not meet on any view. The Court noted that his attendance and examination record was also deficient, and found no ground to interfere.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has held that a mother is a legal heir and family member of her deceased son even if he was married, and cannot be denied a Family Member Certificate on the ground that only his wife and children can be treated as family members. Setting aside a Tahsildar’s rejection, the Court directed the certificate to be issued to the mother, along with the names of other family members if any, and held that she cannot be made to wait until the widow applies.
