PRIYA DARSHNI DENTAL COLLEGE & HOSPL. vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision to quash the Central Government's order denying renewal permission for the petitioner college's BDS course for the academic year 2010-11. The Court found that the college was not provided a reasonable opportunity to be heard as mandated by the first proviso to Section 10A(4) of the Dentists Act, 1948, since the notice for the hearing was received too late. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural fairness in administrative decisions affecting educational institutions.
