The Fee structure has been issued by BFUHS with reference to the pending case in the High Court between a private university and the State. In that case, the University had contended that reserving 50% seats as Government quota seats in respect of unaided private educational institutions is impermissible in the view of the legal position explained by the Supreme Court in P.A. Inamdar v. State of Maharastra (2005).
At that time, it had also been contended by the Private university that the fee fixed for the government quota seats was just 1/3rd of that chargeable for the management quota seats. It had been argued that if reserving 50% seats for the Government quota was illegal then determining the fee structure for the Government quota seats would also be illegal.

While considering the case, the HC bench comprising of Justice S. Muralidhar and Avneesh Jhingan had directed that meanwhile, "the Petitioners will be permitted to collect the fee prescribed for the management quota even in respect of the 50% government quota seats, subject to the stipulation that the differential amount qua the government quota seats be kept, within two weeks of the completion of the admission process, in a Fixed Deposit by Petitioner No.2 in its own name, with a copy of the Fixed Deposit Receipt being furnished to the Department of Medical Education & Research, State of Punjab, and with the further stipulation that the said FDR shall not be encashed by the Petitioners till further orders of this Court."
"It is further directed that while granting admission to the students, the Petitioners will inform them that the reduction in the amount of fees prescribed for the previous academic year is the subject matter of challenge by the Petitioners in the present petition, and that the differential fees, if any, payable by the students would be subject to the outcome of the present petition," the court order had further clarified.
