Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision allowing the State Government to increase the reservation for in-service candidates in Post Graduate Medical Courses from 25% to 50%, affirming the State's authority under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution to regulate admissions based on policy decisions. The Court found that the increase was justified and had a rational nexus to the objectives of the policy. The judgment referenced prior cases, including State of Tamil Nadu vs T. Dhilipkumar and Dr. Dinesh Kumar vs Motilal Nehru Medical College, to support the legality of such reservations.
