APOLLO COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE vs RAJASTHAN STATE VETERINARY COUNCIL

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of recognition of veterinary colleges under the Veterinary Council of India Act, 1984, specifically regarding Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine and Mahatma Gandhi College. The Court held that the degrees awarded by these colleges could not be recognized due to non-compliance with the standards set by the Veterinary Council of India, as indicated by the Central Government's refusal of recognition. The Court emphasized the importance of adherence to statutory requirements for educational institutions to ensure the quality of veterinary education and practice.
