Jabalpur, Sep 24 (UNI) The Madhya Pradesh High Court today stayed the charging of enhanced fees by an Indore-based private dental college and directed that the students be allowed to submit examination forms.

While hearing a plea by 65 students of Aurobindo Dental College, justices Deepak Mishra and K S Chouhan ordered issuance of notices to the Principal Secretary (Medical Education), Admission and Fixation of Fees Committee and the College.
