Kerala and Doctors who had done Rural Service in Kerala, would be given preference for admission and students who were not from Kerala would get a chance for admission only if there were no students from the State of Kerala available for admission in those courses. The students, who were from outside Kerala and participated in the written examination, questioned the validity of condition laid down in the prospectus by which preference and reservation was provided to the local students. The learned Single Judge of the Kerala High Court dismissed the writ petitions on the ground that after participating in the entrance examination they were not entitled to challenge the prospectus, which was later on found to be maintainable by the Full Bench of the Kerala High Court and the matter was remanded back to the appeal court for a decision on merits. It has been noticed in the aforesaid judgment that to challenge the above condition of the prospectus, the main ground is that 100% reservation was unconstitutional as had been held by a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in Saurabh Chaudri and others v. Union of India and others , (2003) 11 SCC 146. The Division Bench of the Kerala High Court extracted the relevant portion from the judgment in Saurabh Chaudri's case (supra) and it was, inter alia, held that the higher the level of speciality, the lesser the role of reservation. Ultimately, the Supreme Court has held that “ having considered the judgment of the learned Single Judge and the Division Bench and the submissions made on behalf of the respective parties, we have no hesitation in upholding the decision of the learned Single Judge
