SC rejects plea for fresh NEET-PG counselling
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|February 08, 2025
THE Supreme Court on Friday rejected a plea seeking directions to cancel the All India quota (AIQ) round 3 of NEET-PG 2024 counselling and to conduct it afresh.
The court dismissed the plea after being apprised by the counsel appearing for the National Medical Commission (NMC) that any such direction now will have a cascading effect in all the states.
A two-judge bench of the apex court, comprising Justices BR Gavai and K Vinod Chandran, passed the order and refused to entertain a batch of pleas filed in the case.
"The plea has no merits. We are sorry. We are not inclined to hear," the bench said.
The NMC's lawyer said that if anything in the case has to be done now, "it will have a cascading effect in all the states because students have already taken part in the counselling."
Earlier, after hearing the petition filed by a batch of students seeking fresh counselling, the top court had issued a notice to the Central government, NMC and others, asking them to file their respective replies.
