Rajasthan High Court Quashes State's 'Blanket Ban' On NOCs For Private Pharmacy Colleges, Says Action Devoid Of Legislative Backing

The Rajasthan High Court quashed the state's blanket ban on granting No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to private colleges intending to start B.Pharmacy courses. The court held that the state's action was without legislative backing and lacked competence, rendering it unlawful. The ban was discriminatory as it applied only to private colleges, violating the principle of equality under Article 14 of the Constitution.
