Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the eligibility criteria for admissions to Post Graduate Medical and Dental courses in Karnataka under Article 32 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the validity of Clause 2.1 of the Information Bulletins for PGET-2014, which stipulates that candidates must be of Karnataka origin and have studied in recognized institutions for a minimum of ten years. The Court ruled that the criteria are reasonable and do not violate the rights of the petitioners, thereby dismissing the writ petitions.
