Neil Aurelio Nunes & Ors vs Union of India & Ors With

Bench: 2 — Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, AS Bopanna

In Brief

The Supreme Court issued an interim order in petitions challenging the validity of OBC (27%) and EWS (10%) reservations in All India Quota seats for NEET-PG and NEET-UG 2021-2022. The Court upheld OBC reservation and allowed implementation of the disputed EWS reservation using the Rs 8 lakh income criterion pending final hearing. This interim measure, based on a government committee's recommendation, permits counselling to proceed while prospectively preserving the petitions' challenge to the EWS criteria's constitutional validity, with final determination scheduled for March 2022."
