DM WAYANAD INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating on Writ Petitions under Article 32, held that the Medical Council of India (MCI) must adhere to fair procedures in conducting inspections for renewal of permissions under Regulation 8(3)(1)(a) of the Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999. The Court found the second inspection conducted on 6th and 7th February 2015 to be flawed due to procedural irregularities and directed the MCI to reconsider the renewal of permission based on the first inspection report from December 2014. The outcome favored the petitioner, allowing for a reassessment of their application for the academic year 2015-16.
