Educare Charitable Trust vs U.O.I & Anr

The Supreme Court, while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, addressed the petitioner's appeal against the Kerala High Court's dismissal of its writ petition concerning the increase of BDS seats from 50 to 100. The Court noted that the Central Government's refusal was based on the petitioner's failure to obtain necessary recognition from the Dental Council of India (DCI) by the stipulated deadline. The Court held that the petitioner could not be penalized for delays attributed to the DCI, emphasizing the need for timely processing of applications in educational matters.
