Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by medical graduates seeking admission to the Post-Graduate course, holding that there was no violation of fundamental rights under Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution. The Court found that the State's decision to not admit students for three consecutive semesters was not arbitrary or mala fide, as the government was amending discriminatory admission rules to ensure conformity with constitutional requirements. The Court emphasized that mere bald assertions of mala fides without specific facts were insufficient to establish wrongful intent.
