Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, acted beyond the scope of Section 10-A of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 by denying the renewal of permission for the 5th batch of MBBS students at IQ City Medical College. The Court emphasized that the deficiencies noted during the inspection were minor and remediable, and thus, the refusal to renew permission was arbitrary and unjustified. The Court directed the respondent to grant the necessary permission for the academic year 2017-18, thereby upholding the petitioners' rights under Article 32 of the Constitution.
