The Supreme Court addressed the petitioner's request for increasing MBBS intake from 120 to 150 seats under Section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956.

The Court directed the MCI to take a timely decision on the inspection report and emphasized the need for adherence to procedural requirements in the approval process.
