Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32, holding that the classification for admission to medical colleges is university-wise, not territory-wise. The petitioner, despite being from a backward region, could not claim admission based on her geographical background as it does not equate to being an alumnus of the Calicut University. The Court emphasized that judicial remedies cannot address every grievance and urged the State to develop a comprehensive admission policy that aligns with constitutional principles of equality and social justice.
