NEW DELHI: For the first time, Supreme Court on Wednesday assembled a global bench as chief justices and the most senior judges of six countries joined CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi to watch first-hand how the highest court in India conducts its proceedings.Chief justices and judges from foreign countries sitting as guests on the dais in the CJI’s courtroom is an old tradition. But never had the chief justices of so many countries partnered – even though they did not participate in adjudication – the CJI-led bench.On the bench were Chief Justice of Bhutan Lyonpo Norbu Tshering, who did his LLB from Delhi University’s Campus Law Centre, Chief Justice and President of Kenyan Supreme Court Martha Koome, Mauritius Chief Justice Bibi Rehana Mungly-Gulbul, Sri Lankan Chief Justice P Padman Surasena, most senior judge of Malaysian Federal Court Justice Tan Sri Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan and most senior judge of Nepal Supreme Court Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla.After proceedings that included adjudication of bail to an academician accused of sexual harassment and the Andhra Pradesh liquor case, CJI Kant said it was a historic moment for Supreme Court of India to witness assembling of so many legal luminaries. Solicitor general Tushar Mehta welcomed them on behalf of govt and senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Rakesh Dwivedi extended courtesies on behalf of advocates.CJ Koome said the Kenyan SC looked up to the constitutional interpretations of the Indian SC. CJ Tshering said the basic structure doctrine evolved by the SC of India continued to be a guiding principle. “I have never seen so many advocates in a courtroom,” he added.CJ Surasena said while Supreme Court at Madras was established in 1800, the Sri lankan SC was set up in 1801, and since then, the two countries have followed the same legal system. Justice Malla said she was privileged to be part of the global bench and her Malaysian counterpart, Justice Pathmanathan, said her country’s highest court followed rulings and fundamentals of jurisprudence developed by the SC.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Being Examined”: MEA On Dhaka’S Request To Extradite Sheikh Hasina”There Was No Fear on His Face”: Survivor Recounts Trauma of Mumbai 26/11 AttacksPakistan On Edge As Imran Khan’s Sisters Assaulted At Jail And Social Media Fuels Death Speculation’Spur Of The Moment’: Former CJI Gavai Reacts To Shoe-Attack Attempt, Reveals Why He Took No Action’No Amount of Denial’ Will Change Arunachal’s Status: India’s BOLD Response To China Over Border Row’No Moral Standing’: India Slams Pakistan’s Rant On Ayodhya Event, Calls Out Bigotry And RepressionKhawaja Asif Admits Pakistan Can’t Trust Taliban As Deadly Border Strikes Trigger New FlashpointFormer CJI B.R.

Representative image NEW DELHI: National Medical Commission (NMC) has turned down a proposal from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence (SMVDIME), Katra, seeking to place 100% of its 50 MBBS seats under the All-India Quota (AIQ) through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).An NMC official said the commission did not approve the request as it would go against policy. Such decisions require broader consultation with states and stakeholders, and existing regulations cannot be amended for a single institution. Under current rules, 85% of MBBS seats are reserved for the state quota and 15% for the All-India Quota. “This is not just about SMVDIME. Any change will have to be worked out with all states and stakeholders on board,” the official said.The proposal may be placed before the board for further deliberation if needed, but the commission has declined it for now.The SMVDIME proposal comes at a time when the institution has found itself at the centre of controversy. Several Hindu organisations, including Sanatan Dharam Sabha and Vishwa Hindu Parishad, have protested over 43 out of the first batch of 50 MBBS students reportedly being from a particular community. The groups hold that since the institute is funded by devotees of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, it should attract students from across the country rather than just one community or region.”As of now, 100% of candidates are from the state,” an official confirmed, adding the college was seeking all-India quota allocation to widen the pool for intake of students.On Sept 8 last year, SMVDIME – located at the base camp of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine – was sanctioned 50 MBBS seats, paving the way for admissions to its first batch in the 2025-26 academic session. The institute began functioning in Nov last year from the administrative block of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
