Justice V. Eswaraiah (Retd.) vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court examined a petition challenging certain rules related to medical college admissions in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, alleging they were arbitrary and unconstitutional. The petitioner sought a declaration that specific clauses of the rules were illegal, but the court clarified that the challenge was primarily to clauses (viii) and (ix) of Rule II of the Andhra Pradesh Medical Colleges Rules, 1997, and similar provisions in Telangana. The court's role was to assess whether these rules violated constitutional principles or principles of fairness in admissions.
