Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the petition for recognition of additional MBBS seats under the Medical Council of India (MCI) regulations. The Court noted deficiencies in bed occupancy (55.27%) and clinical material, leading to a negative recommendation from the MCI. The Court held that the Hearing Committee's observations did not adequately address the bed occupancy issue, and thus, the decision of the Central Government to deny recognition was upheld, emphasizing the importance of meeting minimum standards as per the MCI guidelines.
