New Delhi, June 6

The Supreme Court on Monday decided to examine a plea by medical students seeking a special stray round of counselling to fill vacant postgraduate medical seats under the all-India quota (AIQ) in the NEET-2021.

The petition has been filed by doctors who appeared in the exam and participated in rounds 1 and 2 of the AIQ counselling and state quota counselling followed by the all-India mop-up and state mop-up rounds. On Monday, it was taken up by a vacation Bench led by Justice MR Shah, which posted it for hearing on June 8. It asked the petitioners’ counsel to serve an advance copy of the petition to Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
