Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interim order of the Rajasthan High Court directing the Central Government to allow a medical institute to admit 150 students despite the Medical Council of India's (MCI) negative recommendation for renewal of permission under the relevant medical education regulations. The Court emphasized that the Central Government's decision, based on MCI's findings of infrastructural deficiencies, was valid and should not be overridden by the High Court's interim order. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's order, reinforcing the authority of MCI in determining compliance with educational standards.
