ROYAL MEDICAL TRUST vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court ruled on the writ petition filed by a Trust seeking to quash orders from the Medical Council of India (MCI) that barred the admission of 150 students to a newly established medical college for the academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The Court emphasized the importance of compliance with Section 10-A of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, and held that the MCI's decision was based on valid assessments of deficiencies in the college's infrastructure and faculty. The Court ultimately dismissed the petition, affirming the MCI's authority to regulate medical education standards.
