DR. DINESH KUMAR vs MOTILAL NEHRU MEDICAL COLLEGE .

The Supreme Court emphasized the necessity for strict compliance with its 1987 directions regarding the uniform schedule for postgraduate medical education, mandating that courses commence on May 2 each year. The Court found that the State of Uttar Pradesh failed to adhere to these directives, exhibiting non-cooperation and callousness, which warranted the imposition of exemplary costs. The State was ordered to pay Rs. 20,000, while each Principal of the seven medical colleges was to pay Rs. 500, recoverable from their salaries.
