MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA vs SWATI SETHI . — C.A. No. 2731/2004

Summary of C.A. No. 2731/2004 — Medical Council of India v. Swati Sethi The Supreme Court allowed the Medical Council of India's appeal and remitted the case to the High Court of Punjab & Haryana for fresh hearing. The High Court had previously granted provisional admission to medical/dental students without hearing the Medical Council of India or Dental Council of India, who are responsible for regulating medical courses and timetables. The Court held that the Councils must be made parties and heard before any order affecting admission schedules. If no exceptional circumstances exist, admitted candidates shall be deemed admitted for the 2004-2005 academic session. The matter was directed to be disposed of urgently by the High Court after providing the Councils an opportunity to file counter-affidavits.
