Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of reservations for local students in Super Speciality Medical Courses in Kerala, as per the amended prospectus which limited reservations for candidates with Rural Service to 10%. The Court held that the original prospectus providing for unlimited preference was unconstitutional, referencing the precedent set in Saurabh Chaudri & Ors. Vs. Union of India & Ors. [(2003) 11 SCC 146]. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the amended prospectus.
