Major S.D. Singh Medical College and Hospital & Anr vs Union of India and Ors

Bench: 3 — D.Y. Chandrachud

In Brief

A private medical college sought to challenge an order prohibiting it from admitting students for 2017-18 and 2018-19 on account of serious deficiencies in faculty, residents, and infrastructure documented across multiple MCI inspections. The Court held that assessments of faculty availability and other factual matters fall exclusively within the MCI's expertise and cannot be re-evaluated by courts. While declining relief for 2017-18 (cut-off date elapsed), the Court allowed the college a fresh opportunity to demonstrate rectification for 2018-19, with the bank guarantee kept live pending new MCI inspection and verification.
