Ayurved Shastra Seva Mandal & Anr vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the refusal of the Government of India to grant permission for admissions to Ayurvedic and other medical colleges for the academic year 2011-12, citing deficiencies in infrastructure and teaching staff as per the Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970, and its amendments. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to minimum standards for medical education and upheld the necessity of prior permission from the Central Government as mandated by the 2003 Regulations. The petitions challenging the High Court's orders were dismissed, reinforcing the regulatory framework for medical college admissions.
