Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the Uttar Pradesh government's notification on reservation for SC/ST/OBC candidates in Post Graduate Medical Courses under Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution. The Court held that the cancellation of minimum qualifying marks for reserved category candidates violated the fundamental rights of open category candidates. The Court ruled in favor of the petitioners, emphasizing the need for equal standards in admissions regardless of reservation policies.
