With some medical colleges run by the Bihar government found to be deficient in facilities and declared unfit for further admissions, the Supreme Court on Monday slammed the state government, saying: "You are going to treat human beings, not animals."

"What would happen to the patients if you have an infrastructure like this? You are going to treat human beings, not animals. In a previous judgment, we have already said you are producing half-baked doctors," a bench of Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Indu Malhotra said while censuring the Bihar government.
