Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of recognition and affiliation of the appellant-College for homeopathic courses under the Homoeopathy Central Council Act, 1973. The Court held that the High Court erred in assuming the College lacked affiliation and state permission, emphasizing that disputed factual matters should be corrected through a Review Petition rather than in the Supreme Court's jurisdiction under Article 136. The Court permitted the petitioners to file a Review Petition, ensuring the High Court would decide on merits without limitation concerns.
