KANACHUR ISLAMIC EDUCATION TRUST (R) vs SECRETARY

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating an application under Article 32, addressed the legality of the Union of India's order debarring the Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences from admitting students for the MBBS course for the academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The Court emphasized the need for a reasoned decision by the Central Government after re-evaluating the recommendations of the Medical Council of India under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court held that the earlier decision to debar the institution was not justified and directed the government to reconsider the matter, thus allowing the petitioner's challenge to proceed.
