Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the constitutional validity of the Madhya Pradesh government's admission policy for B.Ed (Part time) courses, which reserved 75% of seats for local residents. The appellant, a training institute, argued that this policy violated Articles 14, 15, and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The court ultimately upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, reinforcing the state's right to implement such policies for local educational institutions.
