PRINCIPAL, KING GEORGE'S MEDICAL COLLEGE LUCKNOW vs DR. VISHAN KUMAR AGARWAL & ANOTHER

The Supreme Court held that the eligibility criteria for admission to the M.D. or M.S. courses under the Lucknow University Ordinances must be fulfilled on the date of application, not the date of examination, as per the interpretation of Clause (c) of Ordinance I. The Court emphasized that all clauses of the Ordinance are part of an integrated scheme and should be interpreted consistently. The appeal by the Principal of King George’s Medical College was dismissed, affirming the respondent's right to admission based on the established criteria.
