Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by Gujarat University against a High Court order mandating admission of a candidate to the M.Ch. super speciality course. The Court noted that the university's admission policy, which prioritized its own students, was found to violate Article 14 of the Constitution, ensuring equality before the law. The appeal was rendered infructuous as the candidate had already completed the course, thus the Court did not delve into the merits of the university's grievance.
