Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the provision in Clause G(ii) for preparing a merit list for each medical college based solely on institutional candidates is discriminatory and violates Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court directed the State Government to prepare a combined merit list for admissions to Post-Graduate Medical Courses across all seven medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh, thereby ensuring equal opportunity for all candidates. The ruling emphasized that a common examination necessitates a unified merit list, aligning with practices followed in other states.
