The Court highlighted that a fake writ petition in the Allahabad High Court had led to an order permitting admission solely on MBBS results, contrary to the Court's previous directives. The Court emphasized the importance of a selection test for post-graduate admissions to ensure compliance with Article 14 of the Constitution, emphasizing the competitive nature of admissions. The Court clarified that no admission should be allowed based solely on MBBS results, and the Allahabad High Court's order had already been reversed. Legality of provisional admissions in post-graduate medical courses: The Court examined the legality of provisional admissions in post-graduate medical courses in the case of a writ petition challenging provisional admissions in Agra Medical College. The Court expressed concerns about granting provisional admissions at an interlocutory stage, emphasizing the need for strict regulation in admission processes due to the competitive nature of post-graduate medical admissions nationwide. The Court referred to previous judgments indicating the necessity of regulating admissions to ensure qualified individuals enter the medical profession, highlighting the importance of adherence to prescribed study periods and teacher-student ratios by the Medical Council. Compliance with selection tests for post-graduate medical admissions: The judgment reiterated the requirement for selection tests in post-graduate medical admissions, as previously established by the Court. It emphasized the need for a broad-based arrangement to ensure fair and competitive admissions, with 25 percent of seats regulated by all-India selection and the remaining 75 percent left to the States. The Court underscored the significance of appropriate knowledge and expertise for medical practitioners to safeguard society from health hazards. Regulation of admission processes in medical colleges: The Court emphasized the need for strict regulation in admission processes for medical colleges to maintain educational discipline and ensure qualified individuals enter the medical profession. It highlighted the importance of following prescribed study periods, course commencement dates, and teacher-student ratios set by the Medical Council to uphold educational standards and prevent health risks to citizens. Equitable considerations in granting provisional admissions: The judgment discussed equitable considerations in granting provisional admissions, cautioning against the granting of provisional admissions at the interlocutory stage, especially in technical courses like post-graduate medical degrees. The Court noted that granting such admissions could create difficulties and lead to embarrassing situations if the petitioner ultimately loses the case. It stressed that equities should not be claimed or granted in such cases, and provisional admissions should not be granted without special reasons clearly indicated. In conclusion, the Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging provisional admissions in Agra Medical College, citing the lack of compliance with previous orders and the need to uphold the principle against granting provisional admissions without special reasons. The Court withdrew contempt proceedings against the Principals of medical colleges but kept their undertakings on record, emphasizing the importance of adherence to selection tests and regulatory requirements in post-graduate medical admissions.
