MCC, in regards to NEET 2018, has updated on its official website mcc.nic.in that Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court has adjourned PIL no 87/2018 to 31 July 2018. This implies that there is no scope for NEET 2018 Counselling to resume before this date. The postponement has been done so that respondents including CBSE, DGHS can respond to the affidavit. As per another report, WP 3885/2018 has also been adjourned to 30 July. Lakhs of students who are waiting eagerly for second round of counselling have been left in a limbo.
When a case is adjourned, its hearing is put on hold until next date given for hearing. In this case of NEET 2018 Counselling, the adjournment was done by the Honbl High Court of Bombay since it was requested by the respondents to give a reply.
