Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Maharashtra government's decision to reserve 20% of seats for in-service candidates in postgraduate medical courses. The court examined the implications of this reservation policy on the admission process and the rights of other candidates. Ultimately, the court upheld the reservation, affirming the state's authority to implement such policies in the interest of public service and healthcare.
