MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA vs THE STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court ruled that the Kerala Professional Colleges (Regularisation of Admission in Medical Colleges) Ordinance, 2017, is unconstitutional as it undermines the judiciary's authority by attempting to nullify prior judgments regarding illegal admissions in medical colleges. The Court emphasized that the State lacks the competence to legislate in a manner that contravenes the directives established in Sankalp Charitable Trust v. Union of India (2016) 7 SCC 487 and Modern Dental College & Research Centre v. State of M.P. (2016) 7 SCC 353. Consequently, the Ordinance was struck down, affirming the High Court's decision that upheld the illegality of the admissions in question.
