KULMEET KAUR MAHAL vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab & Haryana High Court's order allowing additional weightage to RMOs (Regular Medical Officers) in the admission process for MD courses contravenes the principles established in Satyabrata Sahoo & Ors. Vs. State of Orissa, which quashed similar provisions as ultra vires. The Court emphasized that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by creating a new category of candidates and altering admission criteria without proper authority. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reaffirming the need for adherence to established regulations and the prospectus guidelines.
