The NEET-MDS candidates' complaints over the extension of the internship deadline were brought to the attention of the Supreme Court by the Union on February 21. The Court granted the students permission to present their case to the authorities on February 21, dismissing their petition in light of the Union's position.
The students filed their own application to revive the petition last week, claiming the Union has not yet made a decision. The Union decided to extend the internship deadline while discussing that application, and Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, were informed of this decision by the bench.
