Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the State Government's order dated 15.12.82, which prescribed minimum marks for admission to post-graduate medical courses, stating it does not infringe upon the Central Legislature's powers under Entry 66 of List I of the Seventh Schedule. The Court clarified that the State's regulation merely adds an eligibility criterion without conflicting with the Indian Medical Council Act or existing regulations. The appeals and petitions were dismissed, affirming the State's authority to set additional qualifications under Article 162 of the Constitution.
