Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision, which upheld the imposition of a minimum 75% aggregate marks requirement for admission under the sports quota in engineering courses. The court found that this eligibility condition was arbitrary and undermined the purpose of the sports quota. Consequently, the court directed the university to reconsider the admission criteria without the contested requirement.
