Dr. Parag Gupta vs University Of Delhi & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of admission rules for postgraduate medical courses, emphasizing that such rules must not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law. The Court reiterated the principles established in previous cases, notably Pradeep Jain v. Union of India, which declared that reservations based solely on domicile or institutional preference are unconstitutional. The Court held that admissions should be based on merit, allowing students from across the country to compete equally for seats, particularly in super-specialties where no reservations should apply.
