Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the stipend disparity between post-graduate students of the Indian system of medicine and modern medicine, holding that the Union of India had reduced the stipend gap for a limited period but was not obligated to continue it. The Court noted that the students' claims could be considered by the appropriate authorities under existing rules. The decision of the High Court to set aside the single judge's order was upheld, and no costs were awarded.
