RAJIV KAPOOR vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court addressed the criteria for selecting candidates for admission to Post Graduate courses in Medicine from Haryana Civil Medical Service (HCMS) candidates, emphasizing that the selection must be based solely on the marks obtained in the entrance examination as per the Prospectus. The Court held that the High Court's directive to cancel admissions based on the Government's contrary instructions was justified, as the Prospectus had the force of law and could not be overridden by subsequent government orders. Consequently, the appeals by the contesting respondents were dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
