D. N. CHANCHALA vs STATE OF MYSORE AND ORS. ETC.(with connected petitions)

The Supreme Court upheld the Mysore Medical Colleges (Selection for Admission) Rules 1970, affirming that the government retains the power to regulate admissions to its medical colleges despite university ordinances. The Court found that the university-wise distribution of seats under Rule 9(1) does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, and the reservation of seats under Rules 4 and 5 was not excessive, thus not infringing Article 15(4). The requirement of 10 years of residence in the state under Rule 3 was deemed valid, and the classification of children of political sufferers under Rule 4(h) was held to be reasonable and not vague.
