Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of recognition of Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine and Mahatma Gandhi College under the Veterinary Council of India Act, 1984. The Court upheld the decisions of the Rajasthan High Court which dismissed writ petitions challenging the refusal of recognition by the Veterinary Council of India and the Central Government. The Court emphasized that the degrees awarded by these colleges could not be recognized due to non-compliance with the necessary standards set forth in the Act, thereby affirming the validity of the earlier decisions.
