The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Tamil Nadu Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation of seats in educational Institutions and of appointment or posts in services under the State) Act, 1993, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the prescribed reservation ratios in educational admissions. The Court ruled that the writ petitioners, who had secured higher marks than certain admitted candidates, were entitled to admission in Government Medical Colleges, thereby reinforcing the principle of merit-based admission within the framework of reservation laws. The decision of the Madras High Court was affirmed, allowing the writ petitioners' claims for admission.
