Nidhi Kaim vs State of Madhya Pradesh & Others Etc

Bench: 2 — Abhay Manohar Sapre, J. Chelameswar

In Brief

This case arose from civil appeals challenging medical college admissions following a vitiated Vyapam examination (2008-2012). Two Supreme Court judges agreed the exam was compromised but disagreed on whether appellants should retain their course benefits. The larger Bench sought to rehear the matter citing Article 145(5). The Court held that the Constitution permits no intra-court appeals within the Supreme Court, and a rehearing when judges agree on substantive findings but differ only on remedy would be impermissible. The reference was factually incorrect and lacked legal foundation.
