Vs. Director of Medical Education, 1986 WLR 207 that the rules and norms of the prospectus are to be strictly and solemnly adhered to. The same principle is reiterated in the case of Dr. M. Ashiq Nihmathullah Vs. The Government of Tamil Nadu and Others, 2005 WLR 697. It is not permissible for the Court to make any modification and/or relaxation in the conditions stipulated by the prospectus.
