Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the Medical Council of India (MCI) to recommend the grant of permission for the admission of 150 MBBS students for the academic session 2018-19, despite the MCI's concerns regarding deficiencies noted during inspections under Section 11(2) of the Medical Council of India Act, 1956. The Court emphasized that the College had rectified the deficiencies identified in previous inspections, warranting a favorable recommendation. The outcome affirmed the High Court's order, allowing the College to proceed with the increased intake of students.
