CHANDIGARH ADMINISTRATION vs JASMINE KAUR .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the eligibility criteria for NRI admissions to the M.B.B.S. course as specified in the prospectus issued by the Chandigarh Administration. The Court held that the definition of NRI, which prioritized candidates with ancestral ties to Chandigarh, was discriminatory and unconstitutional, violating Article 14 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court struck down the impugned clause, allowing the appellant, a Canadian citizen, to seek admission under the NRI category without the restrictive criteria.
