Authority: Uttarakhand High Court
Order Date: 4 August 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Surajmal University and another entity; Respondents: State of Uttarakhand and others.
- Petition filed under WPMS/2339/2026, seeking inspection of the university's college by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) after submitting a compliance report on 9 July 2026.
- The petitioner claimed that INC had issued a letter on 10 June 2026 directing removal of certain deficiencies, which the university remedied, and therefore inspection should be conducted.
- INC counsel argued that under its guidelines inspection can be carried out only twice within a five‑year period.
- The court noted the procedural aspects and the need for timely decision.
Final Outcome
- Justice Manoj Kumar Tiwari ordered that if the petitioner files a fresh application for inspection, the Indian Nursing Council must render its decision within four weeks from the date of receipt of such application.
