Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order mandating the Dental Council of India to approve the admission of 100 students to the respondent's Dental College, as the institution met all qualifying criteria set forth by the Dental Council. The Court found the Dental Council's decision to limit admissions to 60 students arbitrary and lacking proper justification, thereby violating principles of fairness and reasonableness. Consequently, the appeal by the Dental Council was dismissed, affirming the High Court's directive for full admissions.
