KUMARI N. VASUNDARA vs STATE OF MYSORE & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Rule 3 for admission to the pre-professional course in Government Medical Colleges in Mysore, which required candidates to be domiciled and resident in the state for at least ten years. The Court ruled that this classification does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, as it serves a legitimate state interest in selecting candidates likely to serve as doctors in the state. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the ten-year residency requirement was unreasonable or arbitrary, thus the petition was dismissed.
