Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of admission rules for post-graduate medical courses framed under a Government order dated March 30, 1994. The Court held that the allotment of subjects and colleges based on candidates' options is final, and any available seats not included in prior counselling must be filled from the waiting list in order of merit. The Court set aside the High Court's directive allowing changes in seat allocation, emphasizing that such changes would disrupt the counselling process and academic timelines.
