Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the rejection of the petitioner's application for establishing a new medical college under Section 10A of the Medical Council of India Act, 1956. The Court held that the rejection based on the non-submission of the Essentiality Certificate and Consent of Affiliation before the cut-off date was unjust, as the petitioner had submitted these documents as soon as they were received. The Court directed the Medical Council of India to reconsider the application, emphasizing the need for medical education in the country.
