World College of Medical Sciences & Research and Hospital & Anr vs Union of India and Anr

Bench: 3 — A.M. Khanwilkar

In Brief

A newly established medical college challenged an order debarring it from admitting students for two years based on inspection deficiencies. Although the Oversight Committee had found the college's explanations acceptable, the government repeated its rejection without proper analysis. The Court found the authority's process deficient but refused to grant renewal because significant deficiencies in faculty, residents, bed occupancy and staff documentation were substantiated by an expert body. The Court allowed students already admitted to continue, directed a fresh inspection within two months to verify remediation of deficiencies, and deferred the decision on renewal of permission pending that inspection, while protecting the bank guarantee from encashment.",
