State of Madhya Pradesh vs Jainarayan Chouksey and Ors

Bench: 5 — 5

In Brief

The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition against the State of Madhya Pradesh regarding violations of its earlier orders on medical admissions. The Court reiterated that all medical seat admissions must be conducted through centralised entrance testing and state counselling as a unified process, with no other agency conducting admissions. Any admissions already granted outside this framework were cancelled. The State assured the Court it would re-conduct the entire process by 30 September 2016, enabling private institutions to participate. The Court declined to pursue contempt action, disposed of the petition, and accepted the State's assurances.
