Case Overview
- Appellant: Ms. Vaishnavi Vijay, 22‑year‑old II BDS student, V.S. Dental College and Hospital, Bengaluru.
- Respondents: (1) Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, (2) Dental Council of India, (3) V.S. Dental College and Hospital.

- The appellant had previously failed two subjects in the second‑year BDS examination (October 2025) but, under an interim order dated 08‑12‑2025, was permitted to attend third‑year classes. She subsequently cleared the failed subjects in the supplementary examinations held in March 2026.
Final Outcome
- The Court permitted the appellant to withdraw the present appeal.
- No opinion was expressed on whether the appellant’s attendance of the III BDS course should be regularized; that matter remains within the discretion of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.
- The appeal was dismissed as withdrawn, and all pending interlocutory applications were disposed of.
