A. PEERIAKARUPPAN, ETC. vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the selection process for medical college admissions in Tamil Nadu, affirming that the unit-wise selection did not violate Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution. The Court found that the interview process, although brief, was not inherently flawed, and the allocation of marks was justified. The Court also ruled that the classification of backward classes based on caste was valid, thereby maintaining the reservation policy for socially and educationally backward classes, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribes.
