Summary: Medical Council of India v. St. Johns Medical College (C.A. 670/2007) On 21 February 2019, the Supreme Court disposed of the Medical Council of India's appeal and consolidated writ petitions challenging St. Johns Medical College's admissions. The Court held that the matters no longer survived following the Modern Dental College judgment (2016) 7 SCC 353, which established binding law on admissions. While deprecating the college's earlier admission practices, the Court declined to interfere with admissions already made, as students had completed their courses. The Court directed future admissions comply with Modern Dental College precedent and imposed ₹75 lakh costs on Mahatma Gandhi Medical College for similar violations.
