Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the prospectus issued by Maharshi Dayanand University for MD/MS/PG Diploma and MDS Courses, which did not provide reservation for Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates. The Court held that Article 15(4) of the Constitution allows for reservations in educational institutions, but it is an enabling provision, and the State of Haryana's decision not to provide such reservations for Post-Graduate Courses was upheld. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
