WORLD COLLEGE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH AND HOSPITAL vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition challenging the order of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare debarring a medical college from admitting students for the academic sessions 2017-18 and 2018-19, based on deficiencies identified by the Medical Council of India under the Medical Council Act. The Court held that the decision to debar the college was justified due to significant deficiencies in faculty and facilities, affirming the authority of the MCI to enforce compliance with educational standards. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, upholding the order to encash the bank guarantee of Rs. 2 crore.
