RAJIV GANDHI UNIV.OF HEALTH SCIENCE vs VASUDHA B. RAO — C.A. No. 5358/2001

Case Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science's appeals on August 28, 2003. The case involved 1st-year M.B.B.S. students (1996-1997) challenging the University's grace marks ordinance as violating Medical Council of India regulations. The High Court Division Bench had allowed the students' writ petitions, directing the University to follow MCI regulations. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals without examining the substantive legal questions, reasoning that over five years had passed since 1998 and the affected students had likely completed their studies, making the matter moot while keeping the legal questions open.
