Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of admission procedures for the MBBS course at Government Medical College, Chandigarh, as per the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order. The Court held that the Chandigarh Administration's decision to fill 85% of seats from the Chandigarh Pool before the All India Pool was contrary to the principles established in prior judgments, specifically violating the Notification's clause regarding the order of filling seats. The Court ruled that the Administration must first fill the All India Pool seats before considering the Chandigarh Pool, thereby ensuring fair admission practices for meritorious students from Chandigarh.
