Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Sections 10A and 11 of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, emphasizing that no medical college can establish new courses or increase admission capacity without prior permission from the Central Government. The Court held that the Medical Council must evaluate the schemes submitted by medical colleges and provide opportunities for rectification of defects. The judgment reinforces the regulatory framework for medical education in India, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
