ABBAS ALI KHAN vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of stipend parity between post-graduate students of the Indian system of medicine and modern medicine. The Court noted that the Union of India had reduced the stipend disparity for a limited period but was not willing to extend this financial support to students of the Indian system of medicine managed by state governments. The Court declined to interfere with the High Court's decision, allowing the authorities to consider stipend claims based on their rules, and disposed of the appeal without costs.
