FACULTY ASSOCIATION OF AIIMS vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of reservation policies to specialty and super-specialty faculty posts at AIIMS, referencing the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956. The Court held that prior judgments, including Indra Sawhney v. Union of India, established that reservation is not applicable for these posts, thereby affirming the High Court's decision to strike down resolutions that imposed such reservations. The matter was referred to a larger bench due to its substantial constitutional questions.
