Supreme Court denies relief to doctor seeking registration as NRI candidate in NEET PG Mop-up round
New Delhi: Taking note of the fact that the PG medical admission process has already been completed, the Supreme Court bench on Friday dismissed a doctor's petition seeking permission to register for the Mop-up round of NEET-PG 2021 counselling as NRI quota candidate.
While dismissing the plea, the top court bench comprising of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli also took note of the fact that the while registering, the petitioner doctor did not opt for conversion to an NRI seat in the Mop Up round.
"Though the petitioner became eligible for PG counselling after the reduction of percentile, the petitioner had registered for NEET-PG counselling on 14 March 2022, but did not opt for conversion to an NRI seat in the mop up round. The admission process has been completed," noted the bench as it dismissed the plea.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that while considering the case of the petitioner doctor, the Supreme Court had sought to know from the Medical Counselling Committee about the scenario for NRI quota NEET-PG aspirants in the NEET PG counselling process.
As per the latest media report by Live Law, during the hearing of the case on Friday, the counsel for the MCC, ASG Aishwarya Bhati pointed out that initially the petitioner doctor was not eligible for the first two rounds of the counselling and only after the reduction of cut-off, she became eligible. However, at that time too, the petitioner doctor did not opt for NRI quota.
