Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court's Single Judge, which ruled that the elimination of the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota for PG medical and dental admissions was contrary to law. The Court emphasized that the change in the seat matrix violated established admission procedures and principles of fairness. Consequently, the admissions granted under the NRI quota were reinstated, affirming the legal principle that changes to admission criteria must adhere to established norms and cannot be arbitrary.
