On Wednesday, the Supreme Court asked the DGHS to reconsider the decision of adding 146 new seats, as it directed the central government to maintain status quo till Thursday on the mop-up round of NEET-PG 2021-22 counselling.
The bench had expressed concern at two aspects - the addition of 146 new seats in government college, and the lack of uniform application of March 16, notice of the Medical Counselling Committee barring students who took admissions in state quota from participating in the mop-up round for the All India quota. The bench said the DGHS should examine the issue. On March 28, the Supreme Court sought response from DGHS on petitions filed by various groups of doctors seeking participation in mop-up round of NEET-PG 2021-22 counselling.

Sankaranarayanan said hundreds of seats were added to the pool as a result people not on merit were given seats, which were not available to his clients.
Senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, representing another set of petitioners, submitted that people who were much lower in rank than his clients will get better discipline. The bench noted that staying the process of counselling will be a very extreme step. It added, "If we cancel the seats, then we will have to cancel all the admissions, which would further delay the whole processa..".
