Bihar State Council Of Ayurvedic And ... vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the GAMS degree obtained by the petitioners was not valid for admission to the Post Graduate Course in Ayurved due to non-recognition by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) under the Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970. The Court held that the Faculty under the Bihar Development of Ayurvedic and Unani Systems of Medicine Act, 1951, lacked the authority to grant affiliation to institutions not adhering to the BAMS course prescribed by CCIM. Consequently, the petitioners' claims were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the GAMS degree was outdated and not compliant with current regulations.
