#Pharmacy Council of India

Bombay HC rules Maharashtra's blanket prohibition on new B.Pharmacy/D.Pharmacy colleges violates constitutional limits, citing PCI approvals and Supreme Court precedent. Interim relief granted for 2026-27 admissions, allowing approved institutions to proceed.

Karnataka High Court rules that approval for a subsequent academic year under the Pharmacy Act 1948 cures the rejection of a prior year's approval, ensuring students' academic continuity. The judgment quashes the Pharmacy Council's rejection order, allowing affected students to appear for examinations without delay.
