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.
