NEELU ARORA vs U.O.I. .

The Supreme Court addressed the procedure for the allotment of 15% All-India quota seats for MBBS/BDS courses, referencing the Scheme established in Sharwan Kumar v. Director General of Health Service, [1993] 3 SCC 332. The Court emphasized that the Scheme should not be interpreted as conferring inexorable rights, and noted the necessity for a third round of counselling due to unfilled seats from the first round. The Court held that the vacancy positions must be reported timely to ensure fair allotment, thereby upholding the principles of social justice and equality in educational admissions.
