Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the prospectus for MD/MS/PG Diploma and MDS Courses issued by Maharshi Dayanand University, which did not provide reservation for Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates. The Court noted that Article 15(4) of the Constitution is an enabling provision and the State of Haryana had the discretion to decide on reservations in Post-Graduate Courses. The Court held that there is no legal mandate compelling the State to provide such reservations, affirming the validity of the prospectus.
