In Brief
A medical college challenged the Union government's order debarring it from admitting MBBS students for 2017-18 and 2018-19 after the Medical Council of India (MCI) conducted two inspections within one month and found significant deficiencies in faculty and infrastructure. The Court held that MCI, as an expert statutory body protecting public interest in medical education, has unrestrained authority to conduct multiple inspections without judicial restriction. Finding consistent opportunities were granted to remedy deficiencies, the Court upheld the debarment but permitted the college to establish before MCI that it had removed deficiencies for the 2018-19 academic year.
