1 - 10 of 11 (1.00 seconds)State Of M.P. And Anr vs Kumari Nivedita Jain And Ors on 22 September, 1981
It was held in that case, after
considering the judgment of this Court in the case of State
of M.P. v. Kumari Nivedita Jain, (supra), that the state
will regulate the admission policy and at the same time
adhere to the standards determined by the Indian Medical
Council. It was further observed in that case that the
impugned provisions of State of Bihar provided a uniform
eligibility criterion of 50 per cent for general candidates
and for candidates belonging to "other backward classes" and
40 percent for members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes. Only when students in requisite number were not
available, the said criterion was reduced to 40 and 30 per
cent respectively. The small distinction in eligibility
criteria can, by no stretch of imagination, be said to
impinge upon the determination or coordination of standards
in institutions of higher learning.
Jagdish Saran & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors on 28 January, 1980
Otherwise, to borrow the language used in Dr.
Jagdish Saran Case (supra), this will be a "national loss"
Dr. Pradeep Jain Etc vs Union Of India And Ors. Etc on 22 June, 1984
The importance of merit being the only criterion for
admission to post-graduate medical courses viz. MD, MS and
the like was also emphasised in the case of Dr. Pradeep Jain
and Others V. Union of India and Others,(1984) 3 SCC 654
But this line of inquiry need not detain us here in
this case because the case of the petitioners is not that
there should be no reservation for the candidates belongings
to the three special categories mentioned hereinabove at the
post-graduate level. Their contention is that candidates
belonging to the three special categories must be able to
secure the minimum qualifying marks in the admission tests
in order to gain admission to post-graduate medical courses.
If they fail to secure even the minimum qualifying marks,
then the seats reserved for them should not be allowed to go
waste but should be made available to the candidates
belonging to general category. This contention must be
upheld.
Mohan Bir Singh Chawla vs Panjab University, Chandigarh & Anr on 11 December, 1996
Before we part with this case, we may refer to another
judgment of this Court in Mohan Bir Singh Chawla V. Panjab
University, Chandigarh, 1996 (9) SCALE 351, in which it was
observed after a review of the case law that" the higher you
go, in any disciple, lesser should be the reservations - of
whatever kind".
