EDUCARE CHARITABLE TRUST vs U.O.I

The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioner's appeal under Article 136 against the Kerala High Court's judgment, which upheld the Central Government's refusal to increase the intake capacity of the petitioner's Dental College from 50 to 100 seats. The Court noted that the petitioner failed to obtain necessary recognition for the existing capacity as mandated by Section 10-A of the Dentists Act, 1948, which was a prerequisite for processing the application for expansion. The Court held that the petitioner could not blame the Central Government for the delay in recognition and thus upheld the High Court's decision.
