JAGDISH SARAN & ORS. vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Delhi University rule reserving 70% of post-graduate medical seats for its own graduates, stating that while the reservation percentage is high, it does not invalidate the rule due to the complexities of socio-educational policies. The Court emphasized that the rule is a matter of institutional continuity and justified by the challenges faced by Delhi graduates in gaining admission elsewhere. The petitioner's challenge under Articles 14 and 16 was dismissed, affirming the University's right to set admission criteria.
