Medical Council Of India vs Rajiv Gandhi University Of Health ...

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of renewal of permission under Section 10-A of the Medical Council Act for a medical institution. The Court held that the Central Government's delay in granting renewal, despite the Medical Council's recommendations, warranted intervention to prevent loss of seats for the academic year 2002-03. The Court directed the inclusion of the institution's seats in the seat matrix and established conditions for provisional admissions pending final approval, emphasizing that students could not claim rights until formal permission was granted.
