In Brief
A medical college sought approval to increase MBBS student intake from 120 to 150 seats for the 2017-18 academic year. The Medical Council of India's inspection identified deficiencies and recommended non-approval pending compliance. The petitioner filed a writ seeking mandamus to direct approval and extended admission deadlines. The Court dismissed the plea, holding that no final decision had been made and the admission deadline had expired. The application was treated as one for the 2018-19 session, directing fresh inspection within three months and Central Government decision after hearing.
