In Brief
The Medical Council of India challenged interim orders passed by the High Court that had permitted a college to admit students despite the college's recognition being disputed in pending litigation. The Supreme Court held that such interim orders were improper because they effectively resolved the core issue in dispute. The Court set aside the High Court's orders and allowed the appeals, emphasizing that interim relief should not circumvent substantive proceedings. The Supreme Court expressed confidence that the High Court would finally decide the underlying petitions expeditiously.
