Hey there, folks! Today, we're diving into a recent court decision that’s all about education and the future of pharmacy students in Coimbatore. Let’s break it down!
This case involves the Ranganathan Rajeswari Charitable Trust, which runs the Sri Sai Ranganathan Pharmacy College in Coimbatore. They’re up against the Registrar of Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University and the Pharmacy Council of India.
Ranganathan Rajeswari Charitable Trust wants to start a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) degree course with 60 seats starting from the academic year 2025-26. They asked the court to tell the Pharmacy Council of India to approve this plan quickly.
The honorable Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan heard the case. The court didn’t decide whether the course should start or not. Instead, they told the Pharmacy Council of India to look at Ranganathan Rajeswari Charitable Trust’s request and make a decision based on the details of the case.
The Pharmacy Council has one week to review the request and decide if Sri Sai Ranganathan Pharmacy College can start the course. The court made it clear that they need to follow the rules while making this decision.
The court instructed the Pharmacy Council to consider the trust's request and decide within a week, ensuring they follow the law in making their decision.
