In Brief
The petitioners challenged the delay in conducting MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) admissions counselling for 2021-2022. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare filed an affidavit committing to begin counselling on 20 August 2021 and complete it by 10 October 2021. The Supreme Court accepted this schedule, converted it into a binding court order, and directed compliance. Since the petitioners' grievance was substantially met, the petition was disposed of, with the formalised timeline ensuring timely completion of the admissions process."
