Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether the High Court could direct the Medical Council of India (MCI) to conduct a re-inspection of Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences for increasing MBBS admissions from 100 to 150. The Court held that the MCI's decision to deny renewal based on deficiencies noted during prior inspections was valid and that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction in ordering a re-inspection. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, affirming the MCI's authority under the Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999.
