The top court of the country has dismissed a writ petition filed by NEET PG 2021 Counselling candidates for seeking permission to participate in the Mop-up round with a free exit option.

The Supreme Court bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant, and Sanjiv Khanna has dismissed a writ petition filed by NEET PG 2021 Counselling candidates for seeking permission to participate in a Mop-up round with a free exit option.

The doctors' counsel contended that there were severe instances of seat blocking during earlier rounds of counselling.

However, the court replied, "This follows the same course of action as the earlier matter. We'll look at it next year. There will be serious hardship now. No Ms Mathur. Once we'll start there is no end," as reported by Live Law.
