Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down the Dental Council of India's Notification substituting Regulation 6(2)(h) of the Dental Regulations, which was found inconsistent with the Dentists Act, 1948 and violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions and the rights of educational institutions to establish dental colleges. Consequently, the appeal by the Dental Council was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
