The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea challenging the National Medical Commission's (NMC) decision to not conduct the NEET-Super Speciality examination this year. Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, along with justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, deemed the NMC's decision 'fairly equitable' and decided not to alter the exam calendar.

This decision follows a notice issued by the top court to the NMC on July 19 in response to a plea filed by 13 doctors, including Rahul Balwan.
