In Brief
Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences challenged orders debarring it from admitting medical students for two academic sessions and authorizing encashment of a bank guarantee. The Court found the Competent Authority's decision fatally defective because it merely reiterated an earlier order based on an inconclusive recommendation from the Hearing Committee, without assigning any independent reason. While the orders were set aside, the Court declined to grant immediate relief due to significant infrastructural and academic deficiencies. Instead, it directed MCI to conduct fresh inspection within three months, allow the college opportunity to cure deficiencies, and keep the bank guarantee alive pending final reconsideration by the Competent Authority within one month of receiving the inspection report."
