The judgment said MCI is not empowered to prescribe all India medical entrance tests.

The bench said that the MCI notification was in violation of Articles 19, 25, 26, 29 and 30 of the Constitution.

said he did not share the view of Chief Justice Kabir and Justice Sen

, which was one of the last to be pronounced by a bench headed by the then CJI Altamas Kabir.
