Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Medical Council of India against the Karnataka High Court's interim order allowing JSS Medical College to increase its MBBS intake from 150 to 200 seats for the academic year 2011-2012. The Court emphasized the importance of adequate infrastructure and facilities as per the Medical Council's standards, ultimately holding that the College must meet these requirements before any increase in seats can be permitted. The Court set aside the High Court's order, reinforcing the necessity of compliance with regulatory standards for medical education.
