UNION TERRITORY, CHANDIGARH vs MASTER KUNALDEEP MALIK .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's directive to alter the order of priority in admissions for military personnel's children at Punjab Engineering College, as per the Union Territory of Chandigarh's Memo dated 19.5.1982 and 6.9.1990. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution by acting as an appellate authority over the college's rule-making authority. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reaffirming the original categorization and priority for admissions.
