Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interim order issued by the 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 adherence to established precedents, particularly referencing the case of Royal Medical Trust v. Union of India. The Court held that the Dental Council's assessment and subsequent recommendation to the Government of India were justified based on the deficiencies found in the college's infrastructure and faculty, ultimately upholding the Council's decision.
