Delhi HC slams NMC, allows Gujarat medical college to participate in NEET PG counselling round for 9 PG courses
New Delhi: Slamming the National Medical Commission (NMC) body, Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) for issuing disapproval letters to Dr. M.K. Shah Medical College and Research Centre for PG seats in 11 Disciplines, the single judge bench of Delhi High Court opined that MARB should be able to justify its decisions of rejecting applications.
In fact, the bench comprising of Justice Rekha Palli opined in its judgment that MARB cannot overrule the assessor's inspection reports merely on suspicion.
Slamming MARB, the bench noted, "While the MARB is undeniably competent to take such a decision as per the Regulations, and there is no requirement for the MARB to set out all the reasons in the impugned orders, however, in my considered view, being an authority entrusted with an important task of regulating medical education in India, it is expected to at least prima facie show some justification for its decisions, when the impugned orders are assailed before the Court."
The High Court bench was considering a plea by Dr. M.K. Shah Medical College and Research Centre, which got nod from Centre for MBBS course in 2017. However, back in 2020, when the institute submitted applications before the Union Government to admit students in 13 PG disciplines, the Medical Assessment & Rating Board of the National Medical Commission (NMC) carried out inspections for only two of the disciplines i.e. MD Pathology and MD Microbiology.
