NEET-PG Counselling: SC Notes Reservation Is Not Against Merit; Says, Competitive Exams Do Not Reflect Economic And Social Benefits
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that reservation is not contrary to merit but furthers its distributive effect. The remark was made by the apex court while upholding the 27% all-India quota for the Other Background Classes (OBC) and 10% quota for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) during NEET-PG counselling.

The bench was headed by Justice DY Chandrachud, which said judicial propriety would not allow SC to stay the quota when counselling is pending, especially in a case where constitutional interpretation is involved. The bench said judici...
