Faculty Association Of Aiims vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of reservation policies to faculty appointments at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), referencing the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956. The Court held that previous judgments, including Indra Sawhney v. Union of India, established that reservation does not apply to specialty and super-specialty faculty posts. Consequently, the resolutions adopted by AIIMS regarding appointments were deemed liable to be struck down, affirming the need for high standards in medical education without the influence of reservation policies.
