T.K.T.S.S.MED.EDU. & CHARITABLE TRUST vs STATE OF T.N. .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the Trust's application for affiliation of a medical college under the Tamil Nadu Medical University Act, 1987. The Court held that the University could not insist on prior permission from the State Government for considering the application, as previously agreed upon in a consent order. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the University's rejection of the application based on a technicality regarding the submission date, emphasizing that the application was submitted within the statutory time frame as per Section 5(5) of the Medical University Act.
