In Brief
This case concerns 553 vacant Super Specialty medical seats following counselling. The petitioner sought directions to fill these seats through a mop-up admission process. The Supreme Court, recognizing an exceptional situation, directed the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) to conduct a mop-up counselling within ten days with adequate publicity in national newspapers and on official websites. The counselling was to be completed in one day if possible, with a four-day joining period. The Court emphasized this was an exception for that academic year only.
