Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the State government to take administrative action regarding the Tripura Medical College, emphasizing that the management should be reconstituted to ensure control lies with the Society rather than the government. The Court noted that the State's decision to maintain a non-governmental structure for the college aligns with the objective of transparent management and self-sustainability. The appeal against the dismissal of a subsequent writ petition challenging admission procedures and fees was considered in light of the High Court's earlier ruling, which did not mandate government operation of the college, thus affirming the policy discretion of the State.
