HINDI HITRAKSHAK SAMITI AND ORS. vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court ruled that Article 32 of the Constitution cannot be invoked to enforce policy preferences that lack legal compulsion or statutory mandate. The Court held that the decision to conduct medical and dental entrance examinations in Hindi or other regional languages is a policy matter and not a direct violation of fundamental rights under Article 29(2). Consequently, the petition seeking a writ of mandamus for such examinations was dismissed as inappropriate under Article 32.
