Centralized entrance test followed by centralized state counselling by the State: SC Constitution Bench A five-Judge Constitution Bench comprising of: Anil R. Dave, J., A.K. Sikri, J., R.K. Agarwal, J., A.K. Goel, J., R. Banumathi, J in State of M.P. vs. Jainarayan Choukey and Ors., with I.A. No.83 in Civil Appeal (Nos.)4060 of 2009 pronounced on 23.09.2016 that Centralized entrance test be followed by centralized state counselling by the State Government only. The Bench observed “We have heard the Ld. Counsel for the parties at length. We observe that mandate of our judgment was to hold centralized entrance test followed by centralized state counselling by the State to make it a one composite process. We, therefore, direct that admission to all medical seats shall be conducted by centralized counselling only by the State Government and none else. If any counselling has been done by any College or University and any admission to any medical seat has been given so far, such admission shall stand cancelled forthwith and admission shall be given only as per centralized counselling done by the State Government. We may note at this stage that the State Government has done the first counselling. However, the Ld. Additional Solicitor General has made a statement at the Bar that the State Government is ready to undertake the entire process afresh and assure that it would be completed by 30th September which is the last date for admissions.”
