Procedural Posture

Writ Petition (civil) / Final Disposal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether a third round of counselling should be permitted for vacant 15% All-India quota seats in MBBS/BDS courses after two rounds as per Supreme Court-framed scheme.

Ratio Decidendi

There is no scope under the Supreme Court-framed scheme for a third round of counselling for MBBS/BDS admissions under the 15% All-India quota. The scheme should not be treated as a statute nor be endlessly altered to fill remaining vacancies year after year. The object is to achieve broad-based equality of opportunity, not fill every vacant seat mathematically, and mid-session admissions are contrary to the statutes governing medical education.

Court Disposition

Petitions dismissed.
