Separately, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court criticized the Maharashtra government for inconsistencies in implementing its medical fee reimbursement scheme. In an August 3, 2026 ruling, Justices Kishore C. Sant and Ajit B. Kadethankar stated that the state’s selective approach undermined merit-based admissions. The court’s comments came while hearing petitions from four general category students who had been denied benefits under the scheme, and it ordered the state to reimburse their fees.
Meanwhile, AIIMS Delhi has formed a committee to investigate the death of a 15-year-old girl from Kota who had a congenital heart defect and had been treated at the institute for over a decade. She passed away on September 1. Her father alleged that scheduled corrective surgeries were repeatedly delayed, questioning why the procedure was never performed. However, AIIMS clarified that she underwent extensive cardiac evaluations in 2013, including CT and conventional angiography and cardiac catheterisation. The treating team determined in 2017 that surgery was not feasible due to the complexity of her cardiac condition and recommended medical management instead. An earlier assessment in 2014 had diagnosed VSD with pulmonary atresia and suggested unifocalisation and conduit surgery. The newly formed committee will review her complete medical history and expert opinions, and an autopsy is currently underway, according to The Print.
