Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a dispute over the allotment of a Post Graduate medical seat (MD Medicine) at PGIMS Rohtak for the 2000 academic session. The court examines the priority of candidates on a merit list and the validity of wait-listing procedures during counseling. The central issue is whether a candidate with a higher merit rank can claim a seat over a lower-ranked candidate when seat vacancies arise during subsequent rounds of counseling.
