Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed that students of JSS Medical College, who have completed 4½ years of their MBBS course, be allowed to complete their studies and obtain their degrees despite previous non-compliance with court orders, as per the ruling in Medical Council of India Vs. JSS Medical College [(2012) 5 SCC 628]. The Court imposed a penalty of Rs. 5 crores on the college for its conduct, which is to be deposited in the Court's Registry, and restricted the college's admission capacity for the next academic year to 150 students instead of 200. This decision emphasizes accountability in medical education institutions.
