Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the reservation of 30 seats for Nominees of Government of India (NGOI) in the MBBS course at Lady Hardinge Medical College does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the allocation of seats is within the purview of the university's admission policy and does not infringe upon the rights of general category candidates. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, maintaining the status quo of the admission process for the academic session 2011-2012.
