'We need doctors in this country', says SC; dismisses plea concerning fee structure

The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in a petition challenging exorbitant fees in Rajasthan's private medical colleges, stating the nation's urgent need for doctors. Justices noted that self-financing institutions cannot be expected to match government college fees. While acknowledging the high tuition, the court pointed to scholarship options, ultimately dismissing the plea but leaving legal questions open.
