Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple writ petitions concerning the recognition of medical qualifications from institutions in the erstwhile USSR under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court held that Section 12 and Section 13(3) of the Act govern the recognition process and the requirement of a mandatory internship. The Court emphasized that the Medical Council of India must ensure compliance with these provisions when granting recognition, thereby upholding the integrity of medical education standards in India.
