MAJOR S.D. SINGH MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Union government's order prohibiting a medical college from admitting students for the MBBS course for the academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19, citing deficiencies identified by the Medical Council of India under Section 10-A of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Court emphasized the necessity of maintaining educational standards and held that the government acted within its authority to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The petition was dismissed, affirming the government's decision to encash the bank guarantee due to non-compliance with the prescribed standards.
