Order of Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 13.12.2012 in NEET cases 

UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

In all these matters, which are before us, the main

question which has been urged is with regard to the

applicability of the decision by the Medical Council of India

to conduct National Eligibility and Entrance Test for both

M.B.B.S. and Post-Graduate Courses for Medicine. In addition

to the above, there is also the question of admission into

B.D.S. and M.D.S. Examinations.

Having heard learned counsel representing different

parties, while we are of the view that the main matters which

are pending need to be heard and decided at an early stage,

the time taken in hearing the matters should be utilised in

allowing the students to sit for their respective

examinations, which are already notified. Accordingly, let

all the transferred cases, as well as the writ petitions, be

listed for final hearing and disposal, irrespective of other

part-heard or specially fixed matters on 15th, 16th and 17th

January, 2013.

In all the matters where transfer has not yet been

completed, those transfer petitions shall stand allowed and

all the petitions, pending in the various courts, should be

transferred to this Court by 15th January, 2013, and be

treated as Transferred cases and be listed along with these

Transferred cases and the writ petitions.

In the meantime, the Medical Council of India, the Dental

Council of India, as well as the States and Universities and

other Institutions, will be entitled to conduct their

respective examinations for the M.B.B.S, B.D.S. and Post-

Graduate courses, but shall not declare the results of the

same, until further orders of this Court.

Learned counsel for the respective parties are all

directed to make available their written submissions by 7th

January, 2013.

Let copies of this Order be made available to the

advocates on-record for the respective parties for

communication to the concerned Authorities.

Wide publicity may also be given to this Order by the

States, Union of India, Medical Council of India and the

Dental Council of India so that the students, who are

intending to sit for the entrance examination, may have

knowledge of the same.
