Point 5.16 of the bulletin provided that there shall be no reservations of seats for Super Specialty DM\/MCH Courses.<\/li>\n<li>The NEET Super Specialty Examination was conducted on 15.09.2020 and the results were declared on 25.09.2020.<\/li>\n<li>Counselling was scheduled to commence on 08.10.2020.<\/li>\n<li>The Medical Counselling Committee issued the counselling scheme for 100 per cent All India Quota for NEET Super Specialty DM\/MCH DMB 2020-2021 in which it was made clear that there shall be no reservation for Super Specialty Medical Courses.<\/li>\n<li>The State of Tamil Nadu issued a Government Order dated 07.11.2020 by which a decision was taken to reserve 50 per cent of the Super Specialty seats in Government Medical Colleges in the State of Tamil Nadu for in-service candidates.<\/li>\n<li>Kerala Medical Officers Admission to Postgraduate Courses under Service Quota Act, 2008 provides for 40 per cent reservation for in-service doctors in admission to the Super Specialty Medical Courses. Admittedly, the Act was not implemented for the years 2017-2019. By the impugned order, the Kerala High Court directed the concerned authorities to carry out the provisions of the Act and provide reservation to in-service Doctors. However, the State of Kerala has shown its inability to implement the said Act for admission to the Super Specialty Medical Courses for the current academic year i.e. 2020-2021.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Arguments against in-service Reservation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was argued that the information bulletin made clear to the candidates that there shall be no reservation for admission to Super Specialty Courses. They further contended that the Rules of the game cannot be changed mid-stream and no reservation can be provided for this academic year i.e. 2020-2021 as the procedure for selections for admission to Super Specialty Medical Courses commenced a long time back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was also brought to Court\u2019s notice that the 5-judge bench decision in <em><strong>Tamil Nadu Medical Officers Association v. Union of India<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Xj6IJ49m\"><strong>2020 SCC OnLine SC 699<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> was not applicable as the information bulletin for admission to Super Specialty Courses for the academic year 2020-2021 was issued on 03.08.2020 and the judgment that was delivered on 31.08.2020, clearly stated that the judgment shall operate prospectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Arguments supporting in-service Reservation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was argued that administrative inconvenience cannot be a ground to interfere with the order passed by the High Court directing implementation of reservation to in-service doctors in accordance with the Kerala Medical Officers Admission to Postgraduate Courses under Service Quota Act, 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the Constitution Bench in its judgment in <em><strong>Tamil Nadu Medical Officers Association v. Union of India<\/strong><\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/Xj6IJ49m\"><strong>2020 SCC OnLine SC 699<\/strong><\/a> only saved the admissions which have already been made. As the admissions for the year 2020-2021 have not been completed, the said judgment has to be implemented for admissions to the academic year 2020- 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>What the Supreme Court said <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court noticed that the process for admissions to Super Specialty Medical Courses started on 03.08.2020 and it was made clear to all the competing candidates that there shall be no reservation to Super Specialty Medical Courses. Hence,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cThe Government order issued by the State of Tamil Nadu on 07.11.2020 reserving 50 per cent seats for in-service doctors would be detrimental to the interests of the meritorious Doctors as 50 per cent of the available seats in the State of Tamil Nadu in Super Specialty Medical Courses will not be available to them.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rejecting the submission that nobody will be prejudiced if the Government Order is given effect to, the Court said that there will be reduction of 50% of seats in Super Specialty courses in Tamil Nadu if the Government Order is carried out, which is detrimental to their chances of admission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court also took note of the fact that the Kerala Medical Officers Admission to Postgraduate Courses under Service Quota Act, 2008 providing for 40 per cent reservation for in-service doctors in admission to the Super Specialty Medical Courses has not been implemented for the years 2017-2019. And the State of Kerala has shown its inability to implement the said Act for admission to the Super Specialty Medical Courses for the current academic year i.e. 2020-2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the State of Tamil Nadu too, no reservation for in-service Doctors was implemented since 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, held<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cAs the admission process is at the final stages, we cannot permit reservation for in-service Doctors for this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Dr. Prerit Sharma v.
