In Brief
Lord Buddha Educational Society established a medical college in Raipur with conditional permission after repeated deficiency findings. Following fresh inspection in December 2017, gross deficiencies were found: faculty shortage of 21%, resident shortage of 24.48%, and only 33% bed occupancy—all triggering Regulation 8(3)(1)(a) which prohibits compliance verification for such institutions in that academic year. The High Court ordered fresh inspection and opportunity to cure. The Supreme Court held that Regulation 8(3)(1)(a) operates as a mandatory exception precluding any opportunity when gross deficiencies are established, and that its prior order directing inspection did not implicitly override this regulation. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order."/> </invoke>
