Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 11845/2005 The Supreme Court heard SLP(C) No. 11845/2005 (V.S. Patil Charitable Trust v. Pravesh Niyantran Samiti) on 27 July 2005, consolidated with related petition 11367/2005 concerning medical/dental college admissions in Maharashtra. The Court modified its 13 May 2005 interim order, directing that centralized admissions for management quota seats in 2005-2006 be conducted by the Association of Management of Unaided Private Medical and Dental Colleges (not the State Government) based on merit criteria per the MHT-CET 2005 process. Unfilled management seats (excluding NRI quota) remaining until 27 September 2005 could be filled by colleges on merit basis. The Court emphasized admissions must follow merit alone and directed no clash between college and state counselling dates. Both special leave petitions were disposed of accordingly.
