I appeared for the NEET UG exam last year, filling in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as my domicile states. I secured admission to a medical college in Chhattisgarh. However, some students, unable to secure admission, filed a petition in the Chhattisgarh High Court, claiming that having domicile in multiple states is an offence, citing information from a government website. I was unaware that this was an offence, and would have chosen differently had I known. My question is: 1. Can the information on this government website be considered legally binding? 2. If this is an offence, what are the consequences for someone who has multiple state domiciles?

Information on government websites can only be considered legally binding if it is explicitly authorized by a law or regulation. While having multiple state domiciles might be against the spirit of certain schemes, it’s not an independent criminal offence under Indian law. There are no specific consequences for having multiple state domiciles, except potentially being ineligible for certain schemes or benefits.

We are a group of students who completed our distance learning courses from Punjab Technical University (PTU) in 2015. We studied at their Kolkata study centre, which was established in 2011. We are facing difficulties getting admission to IGNOU as they claim PTU was not allowed to offer courses outside Punjab during that time. However, the policy changed on June 8th, 2012. The University Grants Commission (UGC) also confirmed that PTU was allowed to offer courses outside Punjab between March 10th, 2010, and June 8th, 2012. We have evidence, including a statement from the former IGNOU Vice-Chancellor, confirming this. What can we do to resolve this issue?
