Yash Ahuja & Ors vs Medical Council Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Delhi High Court's judgment rejecting the appellants' request for provisional and permanent registration with the Medical Council of India (MCI) based on their foreign medical qualifications from Manipal College, Nepal. The Court emphasized the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, particularly Section 12, which governs the recognition of foreign medical qualifications under a scheme of reciprocity. The Court held that the MCI's insistence on a screening test for recognition is valid and necessary for maintaining medical standards in India, thereby upholding the High Court's decision.
