Supreme Court Allows IIT Kharagpur Student's Transfer

The Supreme Court has permitted a B.Arch student of IIT Kharagpur to transfer to IIT Roorkee, taking into account his serious mental health condition and ongoing treatment at PGI Chandigarh. The Bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and R. Mahadevan held that the case warranted complete justice in view of the petitioner's peculiar medical circumstances. The court directed IIT Kharagpur to issue the necessary transfer order. The student had sought the transfer due to his mental health condition, which he claimed was not being adequately addressed at IIT Kharagpur. The court considered the student's medical reports and treatment plan at PGI Chandigarh before making its decision. The Supreme Court's order is a significant relief for the student, who can now continue his studies at IIT Roorkee while receiving treatment for his mental health condition.
