Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Government of India's order denying renewal of recognition to medical colleges, emphasizing the need for timely assessments and opportunities for representation under the Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999. The Court noted that while serious deficiencies were identified, the colleges should be given a chance to rectify them. The ruling mandates the Medical Council of India to inspect the colleges and take appropriate action if deficiencies persist, thereby ensuring compliance with educational standards.
