Prof. A. Marx vs The Government Of Tamil Nadu & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madras High Court, which refused to quash the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TNTET) Notification and denied the request for reduced qualifying marks for reserved categories. The Court emphasized that the determination of cut-off marks is a policy matter for the State Government, and the judiciary cannot intervene in such decisions under Article 226. The Court dismissed the special leave petitions, affirming that the allocation of minimum qualifying marks based on communal reservation is within the purview of the State's discretion under Article 16(4) of the Constitution of India.
