Medical Council Of India vs Swati Sethi And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the Medical Council of India has locus standi to challenge the High Court's order regarding admissions to medical courses, despite some petitioners being admitted to the BDS course. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to provide an opportunity for the Medical Council of India to be heard before passing the interim order, which was provisional in nature. The matter was remitted back to the High Court for a final hearing, with directions to consider the applicability of the principles established in Madhu Singh's case, ensuring that the petitioners' admissions align with the admissible intake for the academic session 2004-2005.
