Analysis:

Issue 1: Validity of High Court Orders
The Supreme Court granted leave to petitioners not party to the High Court Writ Petition No. 5267 of 1990 to file a special leave petition. The High Court orders directed admission to Post-graduate Medical Courses solely based on M.B.B.S. results, canceling the selection examination. The Supreme Court declared the first order as non-existent and the subsequent order as bogus, emphasizing the need to uphold the sanctity of judicial processes. Admissions based on M.B.B.S. results post the impugned orders were deemed invalid, and the Principals of medical colleges were directed to comply with the new directive for a selection examination.

Issue 2: Fake Judgment
An investigation revealed the production of a fake order from Allahabad High Court, leading to subsequent directions from the Lucknow Bench. The Supreme Court identified a deep-seated conspiracy behind the fake order and subsequent admissions. It ordered the annulment of admissions secured based on the fraudulent orders, highlighting the seriousness of misleading the judiciary and citizens through such deceitful actions.

Issue 3: Legitimacy of Admissions
The Supreme Court emphasized that candidates who gained admission based on the fake orders could not continue in the Post-graduate Courses. Despite the absence of these candidates before the Court, the decision to vacate such admissions was made in the interest of justice and fairness. The Court stressed the importance of upholding the rules of natural justice while ensuring that the selection process for admissions remains fair and transparent.

Issue 4: CBI Investigation
In light of the fraudulent activities and the need to bring the perpetrators to justice, the Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a thorough investigation. The Court underscored the significance of maintaining the purity of the judicial system and ensuring that citizens are not misled by conspiratorial actions. The CBI was given a two-month timeline to complete the investigation and submit a report to the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court. Additionally, costs were imposed on the identified respondents to cover the expenses incurred during the legal proceedings.
