JUDGMENT :

1. Under judicial review herein are the actions and directives of the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB), an autonomous board set up under the overall supervision of National Medical Commission (NMC), exercising regulatory powers under National Medical Commission Act, 2019. MARB cancelled the admissions of students in undergraduate (UG) and post graduate (PG) courses in four private medical colleges, who are before this Court along with all the affected students, due to alleged deficiency in infrastructure and faculty etc. MARB and NMC are vital in regulating and eradicating malpractices in medical education. The privatization of medical colleges in India has brought both opportunities and challenges. While it has transformed the educational landscape in medical science by expanding avenues, however, this positive shift has also led to the emergence of unscrupulous institutions prioritizing profit over quality education. These institutions operate with inadequate infrastructure, staff and thriving in the shadows of lack of essential resources necessary for quality education. The consequences of such deficiencies pose a direct threat to the lives of common citizen
