STATE OF BIHAR AND ORS vs DR. SANJAY KUMAR SINHA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the cut-off date of eligibility for post-graduate medical admissions cannot exceed the time frame set by the Court in Dr. Dinesh Kumar & Ors. v. Motilal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad & Ors., [1987] 4 SCC 459. The Court found that the examining body and the State failed to comply with the established timeline, leading to a misled group of candidates. Consequently, the Court permitted admissions for the year based on the results of the selection examination with May 31, 1989, as the cut-off date, emphasizing strict adherence to the Court's orders in the future.
