BENGALURU:The High Court on Thursday quashed the circular issued by the Medical Council of India to conduct entrance exams for NRI students for admission to MBBS course from the academic year 2015-16.
A division bench of Justice Patil and Justice P S Dinesh Kumar quashed the circular issued on January 16, while allowing a batch of petitions including one filed by S N Medical College in Bagalkot.
Referring to the apex court’s verdict on P A Inamda’s case, the bench observed that MCI’s circular is against the law. The executive committee of the council cannot amend or interpret the regulations by issuing a circular without following the procedure under Section 19 (a) of IMC Act, 1956, which provides prescription of minimum standards of medical education, the bench said.
