Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interim order issued by the Bombay High Court regarding the Dental Council of India's decision to deny permission to a dental college for starting post-graduate courses. The Court emphasized the need for High Courts to adhere to precedents, particularly referencing the cases of Royal Medical Trust and Ashish Ranjan, which outline the criteria for approval of such courses. The Court ultimately upheld the decision of the Dental Council and the Government of India, affirming that the college did not meet the necessary requirements for the proposed courses.
