Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting relief to the respondent-doctors regarding their admission to the Diplomate of National Board Course, despite the National Board of Examinations' rules. The Court noted that confusion existed among students and the hospital about the admission process, and since the respondents had already completed a significant portion of their course, it was in the interest of student welfare to allow them to continue. The Court refrained from commenting on the binding nature of the Board's rules, leaving that issue open for future consideration.
