Section 15 Maharashtra Nurses Act | Statutory Body Autonomy Overrides Government Control: Bombay HC Bench at Aurangabad

Bombay High Court restrains the Maharashtra Government from interfering with the Nursing Council's statutory functions, including appointing a Registrar and incurring day-to-day expenses. The court held that government sanction is not required for temporary appointments under Section 15(3) of the Act, reinforcing the autonomy of statutory bodies in discharging their duties.
