Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant admission to Respondent No.1 in the MS (General Surgery) course, emphasizing the importance of fair opportunity in educational admissions. The Court noted that the denial of admission was illegal as Respondent No.1 had made efforts to complete the admission process within the stipulated time. The Court directed the National Medical Commission to create a seat for Respondent No.1, reinforcing the principle that procedural lapses should not deny deserving candidates their rightful admission under the relevant educational statutes.
