Supreme Court to hear plea contending MCI oversight by Lodha committee
Advertisement
New Delhi: The Supreme Court today will hear a plea contending that the top court-appointed oversight committee, headed by former Chief Justice RM Lodha, was going beyond its mandate of monitoring the work of the Medical Council of India (MCI).
The petition was filed by Vyapam whistle blower Anand Rai, who has alleged that the committee overshot MCI and the Health Ministry's disapproval of hundreds of applications made by medical colleges without conducting any "fresh" inspection or assessment.
