STATE OF M.P. vs RAKESH MENON

The Supreme Court set aside the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order dated 21.8.1993, which had ruled that the State Government could not reduce the minimum qualifying marks in general English for SC/ST candidates to make seats available. The Court held that the High Court's decision was incorrect and allowed the Civil Appeals filed by the State of Madhya Pradesh, thereby reinstating the previous standards for admission to Medical and Dental Colleges. The outcome was a reversal of the High Court's ruling without any order for costs.
