In Brief
This case challenged a High Court's interim order allowing a medical college to admit 150 students despite the Medical Council of India's recommendation against renewal of permission based on infrastructure and facility deficiencies. The Supreme Court held the High Court's interim direction was unjustified. The Court reaffirmed that provisional admissions on condition of fee refund inadequately protect students and cause prejudice. Where regulatory bodies like MCI have conducted proper inspections and compliance verification, courts should hear matters finally rather than grant interim stays. The appeal was allowed and the High Court's interim order was set aside, with the matter remitted for final hearing on merits."
