DR. B.L. ASAWA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that a post-graduate medical degree granted by a university established by statute and recognized by the Indian Medical Council under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, is valid throughout the country without needing recognition from other universities. The Court found that the appellant's degree from the University of Bihar was duly recognized and should be accepted for the post of lecturer in Forensic Medicine, overturning the High Court's decision that required specific recognition by the University of Rajasthan. The appeal was allowed, affirming the validity of the appellant's qualifications.
