ORDER
AMIT RAWAL, J.
1. There are interim orders in all these matters
permitting the students for online registration of final year

not give any vested right to the students to appear for the
examination.
2. Adjournment was sought on behalf of the Kerala

grounds.
3. Mr.George Poonthottam, learned Senior Counsel
submitted that the interim order only permitted the
students to apply for registration but the examinations
are on the anvil i.e., on 24.01.2025, therefore they will be
permitted to sit in the examination subject to the
W.A. No. 2158 of 2024 and conn.cases
outcome of the writ appeals.
4. Accordingly, we clarify the interim order to the
effect that those who have already registered and having
the attendance as prescribed by the circulars of the
National Medical Commission will be permitted to sit in
the forthcoming examination scheduled for 24.01.2025.
The result of the examination shall be subject to the
outcome of the writ appeals/writ petitions.
