The court directed the state medical education department to fill the seats in the said four medical colleges afresh strictly based on the reservation as prescribed under the Reservation Act of 2006 along with the reservation for the central and the state government seats. Justice Pankaj Bhatia passed the judgment on August 25 in response to a petition filed by a NEET 2025 aspirant Sabra Ahamad challenging the GOs providing reservation. It was submitted by the petitioner's counsel that the GOs fixing reservation are clearly contrary to the mandate of Section 4 of the Reservation Act, 2006 or any other law otherwise. On the other hand, the state counsel opposed the plea.The court said that "...the GOs are founded on misreading and misinterpretation of the policy guidelines issued by the Central Government.
