Medical Council Of India vs J.Saai Prasanna & Ors. Etc. Etc

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's order directing the Medical Council of India (MCI) to grant provisional registration under Section 25(1) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, to students who completed the screening test as per Section 13(4A) of the Act. The Court clarified that students who studied at an unrecognized medical college in India but obtained their degrees from a foreign university are not automatically disqualified from registration if they meet the screening test requirements. The Court affirmed the High Court's finding that the petitioners fulfilled the necessary criteria for registration, thus allowing their claims for provisional and permanent registration.
