AJAY KUMAR AGARWAL vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court reiterated its earlier directions regarding the conduct of selection examinations for post-graduate medical studies, as established in Dr. Dinesh Kumar's case (1984) 3 SCC 654. The Court emphasized the necessity for a uniform pattern and strict adherence to the time schedule for admissions and teaching, mandating that all institutions comply with these directives. The Court found the State of Uttar Pradesh in willful default for failing to implement the established framework, leading to the imposition of exemplary costs against the State.
