Union Of India vs Era Educational Trust & Another

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interim mandatory relief allowing the establishment of a medical college was unjustified as it violated principles of natural justice and the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, which requires prior sanction from the Central Government. The Court emphasized that such extraordinary powers under Article 226 should not be exercised without proper justification and due process. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order, reaffirming the necessity of following legal protocols in granting interim relief.
