MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA vs SILAS NELSON .

The Supreme Court held that under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, specifically Sections 12 and 14, the Medical Council is the primary authority to determine the equivalence of medical courses for migration purposes. The Court found that the High Court erred in quashing the Medical Council's resolution denying migration, emphasizing that the course of study, rather than individual circumstances, is critical for migration approval. Consequently, the Court upheld the Medical Council's decision to refuse migration, affirming the importance of maintaining standards in medical education.
