Jagdish Chand Memorial Trust vs The State Of Himachal Pradesh

The Supreme Court examined whether the withdrawal of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for establishing an Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital was proper. The appellant Trust had set up a hospital based on the NOC, and the Court considered whether the subsequent withdrawal by the State was arbitrary and against public interest. The Court emphasized the importance of the trust's reliance on the NOC and the principles of natural justice, ultimately holding that the withdrawal was unjustified. The judgment underscores the need for fair procedures before revoking permissions granted for establishing medical facilities.
