Orders
Summary of W.P.(C) No. 306/2004 - Mridul Dhar (Minor) v. Union of India Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed two interlocutory applications (I.A. Nos. 46907 and 46898 of 2017) filed by unaided medical colleges seeking extension of time until June 21, 2017 to fill vacant postgraduate medical and dental seats for 2017-18. The Court rejected the colleges' argument that an Allahabad High Court judgment had prevented admissions, finding the High Court's order was limited to AMU, BHU, and in-service candidates and did not affect private colleges. The Court emphasized strict adherence to the admission schedule established in *Ashish Ranjan v. Union of India*, noting vacant seats existed due to doctors unwilling to accept costly non-clinical courses. Next Steps: No further directions were given; the matter stands concluded with dismissal of the extension request.
