Paramjeet Gambhir And Anr. vs State Of M.P. And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Rule 15.8 of the MP Medical and Dental Post-Graduate Examination Rules, 2002, which abolished the 'opt for waiting' system. The Court held that the amendment to revive the 'opt for waiting' system was valid and directed that candidates who did not opt for seats in the first counselling should be allowed to participate in the second counselling for vacant seats. The Court emphasized the importance of providing equal opportunity to all candidates and noted that certain seats had remained vacant due to the earlier rule's prohibition.
