Royal Medical Trust (Regd) & Anr vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed petitions regarding the disapproval of applications for new medical colleges and increases in intake for existing colleges, as per Section 10A of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court held that the Medical Council of India (MCI) must conduct inspections to verify compliance with infrastructure and faculty requirements before disapproving applications. The refusal of the Central Government and MCI to undertake fresh inspections was deemed unjustified, leading to the conclusion that applicants are entitled to a fair opportunity for compliance verification.
