Chowdhury Navin Hemabhai & Ors vs State Of Gujarat & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Medical Council of India (MCI) Regulations and the Gujarat State Rules, 2008, which require a minimum of 40% marks in both the qualifying examination and the common entrance test for admission to the MBBS course, are valid. The Court emphasized that the appellants, despite being from Scheduled Castes and Tribes, did not meet the necessary criteria in the common entrance test, thus justifying their discharge from the MBBS course. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petition under Article 226, affirming the importance of adhering to established admission criteria.
