Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed Writ Petition (C) No. 29 of 2003 and related petitions, holding that the prayer for contempt proceedings could not be entertained. The Court reiterated that the All-India quota for PG seats should be 50%, as established in prior judgments, and that institutional preference for admissions should be limited to 50% of total MBBS seats. The Court clarified that the existing scheme from Dr. Pradeep Jain's case should continue unless replaced by Central legislation, thereby upholding the principles of fair admission processes in medical education.
