Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the Union government's order debarring the petitioner from admitting students for the MBBS course, citing Section 11 of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court held that the deficiencies identified by the Medical Council of India, including inadequate faculty and poor infrastructure, justified the decision to deny recognition. The petitioner's request for a mandamus to participate in the admission process was denied, affirming the government's authority to enforce standards in medical education.
