In Brief
This interim order addressed the petition of Akhila (also known as Hadiya), a medical student whose pursuit of education was disputed amid an NIA investigation and parental concerns. The Supreme Court personally interviewed the petitioner to understand her educational aspirations and future plans. The Court held that she has the constitutional right to pursue her BHMS internship/housemanship and directed that she be admitted to her chosen college with hostel accommodation, while clarifying that the NIA investigation would continue. The order balanced personal liberty and educational rights against ongoing criminal proceedings.
