Courts must exercise caution when ordering vacant seats at medical colleges: SC - Video

The Supreme Court recently held that even though courts have power to make orders directing to keep medical seats vacant at medical colleges, they should exercise great caution while doing so.

"If provisional admission seats are not to be given casually, the said principal should also apply for directions to keep seats vacant. Only if there is a cast iron case for the petitioner and the petitioner is bound to succeed in cases where the error of the respondent authorities is so gross as to negate any other conclusion, interim orders keeping seats vacant could be made," opined the top court bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and KV Vishwanathan.
