The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to intervene on allegations raised by Vyapam whistleblower Dr. Anand Rai against the apex court-appointed Oversight Committee led by former Chief Justice of India R.M. Lodha, accusing it of over-stepping its assigned job of monitoring the work of Medical Council of India (MCI). A Bench led by Justice Anil R. Dave instead asked Rai to knock on the panel’s door with his grievances. ‘No fresh inspection’The petition alleged that the Committee overshot the MCI and Health Ministry’s disapproval of hundreds of applications made by medical colleges without conducting any “fresh” inspection or assessment. The Bench even called the petitioner, Mr. Anand Rai, to the front of the courtroom to ask him about his interest in the matter.
