National Medical Commission has power to stop admissions in medical colleges: Supreme Court

Taking serious cognisance of the NMC inspection report of a Dhule-based medical college which had revealed that the patients in the wards were "hale and hearty" and "no serious in-patient was found in paediatric ward", the Supreme Court has stayed the Bombay High Court order of admissions to 100 MBBS seats at the institute.
