Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that students who completed their MBBS at IMT University in Tanzania are entitled to recognition of their medical qualifications under Section 13(4A) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court found that the students met all necessary criteria, including being citizens of India and passing the Screening Test conducted by the National Board of Examinations. The ruling emphasized that the medical qualification granted by IMT University is recognized for enrollment as a medical practitioner in Tanzania, thus satisfying the requirements for recognition in India as well.
