Quick Summary: Vedula Anirudh, a student, wants to be considered a local candidate for MBBS/BDS admissions in Telangana. The court suggests he approach the university with the right documents.

Background of the Case

Vedula Anirudh, a 20-year-old student from Secunderabad, applied to be considered a local candidate for the MBBS/BDS courses for the 2025-26 academic year. He based his request on the fact that he studied in Bengaluru for two years while his father was working outside Telangana.

Why Anirudh Thinks He Qualifies

Anirudh claims he meets the rules under G.O.Ms.No.150 dated 08.09.2025. His father, who works as a Superintendent of GST & Central Excise in Chennai, was stationed outside Telangana for nearly three years. Anirudh argues that this makes him eligible as a local candidate under the government order.

"I have the job certificate and proof of residence," Anirudh insists.

What the Court Says

The court, led by Chief Justice Apresh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, listened to Anirudh's request. The judges noted that if Anirudh meets the conditions under the government order, he should approach the university with his documents.

Next Steps for Anirudh

The court advised Anirudh to contact Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences. If he presents the necessary documents, he can be treated as a local candidate for the admission process.

Summary of the Verdict

The court concluded the case by instructing Anirudh to follow the procedure with the university. There were no costs ordered, and any other pending applications were closed.
