In Brief
Kanachur Islamic Education Trust challenged the Union of India's order denying admission approval for its MBBS programme and authorizing encashment of a Rs. 2 crore bank guarantee. The Supreme Court set aside the government's decision, holding that the regulatory authorities failed to undertake a fair, objective analysis of the college's compliance despite a court direction to re-evaluate. The Court confirmed the college's permission for 2016-17 and granted it for 2017-18, finding that the second inspection was unjustified, the deficiency findings were unsupported by reliable evidence, and the college's representations were inadequately considered, breaching principles of natural justice and administrative fairness.
