TANVI BEHL vs SHREY GOEL

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision invalidating domicile/residence-based reservation for admission to PG Medical Courses in Chandigarh, as it contravened the merit-based admission criteria established by the National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET). The Court directed the cancellation of admissions made under the invalid reservation and mandated a fresh admission process based solely on NEET scores. This ruling reinforces the principle that merit must prevail in educational admissions, aligning with the constitutional mandate of equality under Article 14.
