STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs INDIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION .

The Supreme Court held that the State Government is required to submit an application to the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences under Section 64 of the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences Act, 1998, for permission to establish a government-run medical college. The Court affirmed the Bombay High Court's decision that the State's resolution to set up a medical college at Kohlapur was invalid due to non-compliance with the Act and contrary to the binding perspective plan prepared by the University. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Maharashtra was dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
