Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of compulsory bond conditions imposed by various state governments for admission to post-graduate medical courses, specifically under the Notifications dated 31.07.2013 and 10.06.2014. The Court held that such conditions, which require medical graduates to serve the state for a specified period or face financial penalties, are not arbitrary or unreasonable, thereby upholding the validity of the Notifications. The Court emphasized that the imposition of these bonds is a legitimate state interest in ensuring healthcare services in the region.
