STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH AND ORS. vs DR. ANUPAM GUPTA ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Section 28(5) of the U.P. Universities Act, 1973, which allows the State Government to regulate admissions to medical colleges. The Court confirmed that the eligibility criteria of securing a minimum of 50% marks in the entrance examination is lawful, as per G.O. 4215 dated August 22, 1989. However, it ruled that the High Court's direction to admit students based on available vacancies was improper, as the eligibility criteria must be strictly adhered to, leading to the dismissal of the appeals against the High Court's order.
