The Supreme Court today rejected a plea alleging that the apex court-appointed oversight panel headed by former Chief Justice of India R M Lodha had overshot Medical Council of India, MCI and Health Ministry's disapprovals and allowed several medical colleges to admit students.<br/><br/>A bench comprising Justices A R Dave and L Nageswara Rao trashed the contention that the panel had gone beyond its mandate of monitoring the work of MCI and given its nod to over 100 medical colleges to start admissions without assessing their facilities. The apex court asked Anand Rai, a doctor who had filed the PIL, to give a representation to Justice Lodha panel instead.
