ANIL KUMAR GUPTA vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the Uttar Pradesh government's reservation policy for medical admissions for the academic year 1994-95, which reserved 65% of seats across various categories. The Court found that this policy was contrary to the precedent set in Indra Sawhney v. Union of India, which limited reservations to 50%. The Court held that the excessive reservation was unconstitutional and directed the state to adhere to the established limits, thereby invalidating the contested reservation policy.
