DR. SAURABH DWIVEDI vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's decision to set aside institutional preferences at Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University for postgraduate medical admissions, ruling that such preferences must be respected as per the Medical Council of India Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2000. The Court held that the High Court's directive to limit admissions to students who completed their MBBS in Uttar Pradesh was unjustified, thereby reinstating the original admission criteria. The judgment emphasized adherence to statutory regulations governing medical education.
