A.l.l.M.S. STUDENTS UNION A v. A.1.1.M.S. AND ORS.

So we drop the curtain on the controversy for the present. Before parting it is necessary to place on record certain observations by way of classifica:ions lest our judgment should be misunderstood or misapplied. Our judgment shall not come in the way of the Academic Committee or any other competent body of experts devising a better alternative scheme of admissions to the post-graduate level of study i~ the Institute which may revise and further scale down the reservation or preference by giving more weight to merit and excellence. We have not touched and not dealt with other reservation made by the Institute and therefore our judgment is not an implied approval of other reservations as to which we have grave doubts if they would be sustainable if challenged and we do not say any more as the present case does not provide an occasion for testing the validity of other reservations. Further, this judgment of ours shall not have the effect of invalidating such admissions as have already been given. The directions made hereinabove shall operate for future, i.e., today onwards. The appeals are disposed of in terms of the directions made hereinabove. No order as to the costs.

S.V.K. Appeals disposed of.
