Government Of Andhra Pradesh And Anr vs Medwin Educational Society And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of the Andhra Pradesh Government's committee for approving locations of medical and dental colleges, under the Medical Council of India Act and Dental Council of India Act. The Court held that the State's role is limited to assessing desirability and feasibility for essentiality certificates, without encroaching on the legislative field occupied by Parliament. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the committee's composition violated the separation of powers doctrine, particularly due to the involvement of a sitting High Court judge.
