Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Government to deny admission of students to Karpagam Faculty of Medical Sciences for the academic year 2017-18 under Section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court found that the decision was based on the recommendations of the Medical Council of India and that the college had failed to meet the necessary conditions for approval. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the college's admission process was irregular.
