Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order granting relief to a doctor through Public Interest Litigation was invalid as it lacked justification and did not consider the broader public interest. The Court emphasized that the state is not obliged to provide special treatment to individuals at the expense of others in need. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's directions were set aside, reinforcing the principle that judicial processes should not cater to individual whims without adequate reasoning.
