On Friday, the Supreme Court allowed the Centre to go ahead with NEET PG counselling with 27% OBC and 10% EWS quota in all India seats.
A bench of Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice A S Bopanna upheld the validity of 27 per cent OBC quota but said the income criterion of ₹ 8 lakh per annum fixed for EWS candidates would be subject to final outcome of pending petitions.
In an interim order, the court said it had accepted the recommendation of the Ajay Bhushan Pandey committee to continue with the income criterion for Economically Weaker Sections for this year.
The court explained that it was passing the order to ensure that admission process will not be dislocated.
The Centre had earlier agreed to have a fresh look at the income criterion for EWS candidates.
A group of petitioners led by Neil Aurelio Nunes challenged the Centre's notification of July 29 to implement OBC and EWS reservation in NEET-All India Quota from the current academic session in PG courses. As much as 50 per cent seats in PG courses are filled through all India quota.
