Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of admission to Akansha Adile and Priya Gupta in the MBBS course by the Chhattisgarh Government violated the principles of natural justice as it disregarded the merit-based selection process outlined in the Chhattisgarh Medical and Dental Graduate Examination Rules, 2006. The Court emphasized that the admissions should have been filled based on merit and the proper procedure for filling vacant seats was not followed. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's decision and reinstated the admissions of the appellants.
