Chandra Sekhar Bhattacharjee vs Runumi Choudhury And Ors.

The court examined the priority of candidates for admission to postgraduate medical courses based on merit rankings. The central issue was whether a higher-ranking candidate, who had already accepted a different seat, retained a preferential right to a newly vacant seat in their preferred specialty over a lower-ranking candidate. The Court analyzed the administrative process of counselling and the validity of allocating seats based on merit lists.
