Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the respondent's request to appear for the M.S. (G & O) examination was untenable as she did not complete the required three years of training mandated by the Medical Council of India for postgraduate degrees. The Court emphasized that no credit could be given for the Diploma course towards the M.D./M.S. requirements. Consequently, the direction of the High Court granting her admission was set aside, allowing the appeal by the State of Uttar Pradesh.
