The Kakatiya Medical college (KMC) administration has temporarily revoked the one-year suspension imposed on PG second-year student M.A. Saif in accordance with a high court judgement. He had been expelled for his claimed involvement in Dr. Dharavat Preethi's suicide, a first-year student. He was given permission by the institution to go to hanamkonda for courses.

Notably, the 27-year-old Saif was charged with ragging Dr. Preethi and placed on detention after being arrested under Section 4(V) of the Prohibition of Ragging Act and the SC, st (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Later, on february 26, while receiving treatment at Nims in Hyderabad, she passed away. On february 22, while doing her duties at the mahatma gandhi Memorial (MGM) Hospital, she attempted suicide.

The anti-ragging committee looked into Preethi's death case seriously and made a recommendation that the KMC authorities suspend Saif for a year, bar him from theory and practical classes and forbid him from entering the college's hostel and library starting on march 4.

On april 20, Saif was released on bond. He went to the HC to appeal his ban. The court ordered the KMC to hold a new hearing with the anti-ragging commission and give him a fair chance. The college administration consequently requested Saif to come before the committee and provide his account. Saif fell short of doing this. The college then sent the court the report and kept the suspension ruling.

Saif, however, filed a lawsuit against the college's new notifications, arguing that he was unable to attend before the anti-ragging committee for personal reasons. He pleaded with the court to instruct the institution to carry out its earlier directive to lift the suspension against him.

Following that, the court instructed the institution to temporarily suspend its suspension order so that Saif may attend courses. It also instructed the college to hold another meeting of the anti-ragging committee after a week, noting that the committee's decision would be considered final.

According to the court's decision, the suspension order against Saif was temporarily removed, and he was allowed permission to attend courses, according to college president Mohan Das.
