In Brief
A medical college sought permission from the High Court to admit students provisionally for an academic year despite the Medical Council of India's repeated refusal to grant permission due to persistent deficiencies in infrastructure and faculty. The Supreme Court held that High Courts should not grant interim relief permitting admissions when an institution lacks regulatory approval. Even provisional admissions subject to pending litigation expose students to serious prejudice and uncertainty. The Court emphasised that caution is essential in education cases affecting students' careers, and interim orders cannot substitute for proper regulatory compliance.
