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. Counsel for IIT Roorkee opposed the transfer, contending that the AIIMS report, while acknowledging the student's depression and medical issues, did not specifically recommend a transfer between IITs. The institute also argued that the rules governing student transfers placed before the Court applied only to IIT Kharagpur and not uniformly across all IITs. These rules are for IIT Kharagpur, not IIT Delhi… What about IIT Roorkee then?" When informed that IIT Roorkee had no regulations governing such transfers, the Court declined to base its decision on institutional rules.
