Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the implications of interim orders in judicial proceedings, particularly regarding the directive issued by the Director of Medical Education to keep one MBBS seat vacant in the appellant-colleges due to ongoing litigation. The Court emphasized the need for caution in such orders, holding that the colleges were entitled to seek compensation for the loss of opportunity to fill the seat, as the interim order adversely affected their admissions process. The judgment underscores the principle that judicial actions should not unduly harm third parties not involved in the litigation.
