THE STATE OF TAMIL NADU vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of non-implementation of reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in medical seats contributed by Tamil Nadu to the All India Quota. The court upheld the High Court's decision that there is no legal barrier to extending OBC reservations but emphasized the need for a collaborative approach between the Central Government and the Medical Council of India for implementation. The court directed that the reservation should be finalized for the next academic year to avoid disruption in the current selection process.
