Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the cancellation of admissions to the MBBS course for Priya Gupta and Akansha Adile by the Chhattisgarh Government violated principles of natural justice as it disregarded meritorious candidates. The Court emphasized that the admissions should have adhered to the Chhattisgarh Medical and Dental Graduate Examination Rules, 2006, which govern the selection process. The Court held that the High Court's decision to uphold the cancellation was incorrect, thereby allowing the appeals and reinstating the admissions of the appellants.
