Pharmacy Council Will Approve Pharmacy Courses, Not AICTE: Supreme Court

-
The Supreme Court of India has recently made a landmark observation over the statutory authority of Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) when it comes to matters related to pharmacy. The bench of Honourable Justices Arun Mishra, Vineet Saran and MR Shah held that only Pharmacy Act 1948 will be applicable in relation to the subject of Pharmacy, including approval of courses of study, minimum standards of education required for qualification as a Pharmacist, registration as a Pharmacist, regulation of future professional conduct etc; not any other authority.

 SC was approached to intervene in the conflict over restrictions imposed by the PCI on the intake of students to various Pharmaceutical courses. Many colleges had moved the various High Courts against these restrictions. Since the Colleges increased the intake of students, based upon the requisite approval obtained from the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), the High Courts had allowed the colleges to continue with the increase in intake.
