The Supreme Court<\/a> came across a ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ moment, when it was cancelling the permission for admission of additional students in a medical college, after a\u00a0 surprise inspection where all patients in the ward seem “hale and hearty and also no serious in-patient was found in pediatrics ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Bench of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Surya Kant said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is shocking. It’s like a Munna Bhai movie. All the patients in the ward were found to be hale and hearty. In the paediatric ward, there was no serious patient. We were surprised.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for Annasaheb Chudaman Patil Memorial Medical College, informed the court that NMC carried out a surprise inspection of the Hospital on the day on Makar Sankranti, without any notice which was a holiday. The Bench told Singhvi, “Illness does not stop on Makar Sankranti’. Your client (college) did not say that there were no patients.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bench was hearing appeals filed by NMC and the medical college, which is situated in Dhule district of Maharashtra, against the Bombay High Court order, which had directed for fresh inspection of the college by the commission and allowed the admission of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Advocate Gaurav Sharma said that NMC can take surprise inspection under the law and what the High Court order did was that it allowed 100 MBBS students to take admissions “in this type of college”, which was the initial capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Apex court was informed by The National Medical Commission (NMC) that permission for admission of additional students was cancelled as there were no operation theatre and no X-RAY machines, along with other required deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
