The Supreme Court of India directed the State of Tamil Nadu to report 151 unfilled super-speciality medical seats (DM and M.Ch) to the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) so they can be allocated via the All India merit list.
Core Ruling and Actions
- Seat Surrender: The Court disposed of a writ petition regarding the ongoing NEET-SS 2025 counselling process.
- Precedent Followed: A bench of Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimhaand Justice Alok Aradhe based the decision on the previous N. Karthikeyan & Ors. v. State of Tamil Nadu case.
- Allocation Process: Tamil Nadu first fills its reserved seats, and any remaining vacant seats are handed over to the Union Government for All India merit distribution.
Petitioner Demands & Counseling Terms
- Initial Request: Petitioners wanted unfilled state quota seats transferred to the All India Quota to be included in the second or an additional round of counselling.
- Counselling Cut-offs: Additional Solicitor General S.D. Sanjay confirmed that the existing counselling cut-off dates will be maintained unless changes become absolutely necessary.
- Case Limitations: The Supreme Court clarified that this specific order applies only to the unique circumstances of this case and will not serve as a legal precedent for future matters.
