NEET PG: Doctors move Supreme Court demanding free exit after AIQ Round 2 Counselling
New Delhi: Challenging the practice of imposing penalty on doctors for leaving seats in the middle of counselling, several aspirants of NEET-PG 2021, the centralized common entrance test for admission to postgraduate medical courses, have recently approached the Supreme Court and sought permission for free exit from the already joined seats pursuant to the 2nd round of counseling in the All India Quota seats.
Apart from challenging the penalty, the petitioners have further sought directions so that candidates who desire to resign or vacate seats joined during the 2nd round of AIQ counselling are allowed to exit without paying the penalty and those vacant seats get added up to the stray vacancy round, other special rounds of counselling, or in the subsequent NEET-PG counselling.
Although the petition was primarily listed before the top court bench comprising of Justices LN Rao and B R Gavai, the bench on Monday directed the petitioners to take up the matter before the bench comprising of Justice Chandrachud, adds Live Law.
