Madhya Pradesh HC Instructs MP Online Not To Tamper With Nursing Data

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The High Court, principal bench of Jabalpur instructed MP Online that no data related to nursing should be tampered with. A public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Law Students Association President Vishal Baghel over irregularities in recognition and admission in nursing and paramedical colleges in Madhya Pradesh was heard on Friday by the bench of Justice Atul Shridharan and Justice Anuradha Shukla.

The petitioner presented documents of Sendhwa Nursing College and alleged that the college was granted recognition for 2024-25 after being found suitable following two investigations by the CBI.

On the other hand, the mark sheet of the faculty shown by the college in the application for recognition was fake, which led the High Court to confiscated the file of that college from the CBI.

The CBI informed HC that the mark sheet presented by the petitioner was found in the records of the CBI in some other name, so the petitioner should be asked from which source he has obtained the mark sheet. On being asked by the High Court, the petitioner showed the fake mark sheet by opening it on the official portal of the Nursing Council during the hearing.

In fact, both the judges themselves downloaded the mark sheet from the portal of MPNRC as told by the petitioner, which confirmed that the mark sheet presented by the petitioner is part of the record of recognition by the Nursing Council.

The court directed the CBI to hand over a copy of the file to the petitioner as well. The High Court also directed MP Online not to make any manipulation or change in online data of the Nursing Council. If the order is violated, a case will be registered.
