Allowing petitions by some CBSE students challenging the June 22 state government order, Justice K Ravichndrababu held that the impugned reservation was bad in law and violated Art 14 of the Constitution (Equality before law). He also held that the reservation indirectly meddled with the object and process of the National Eligibility-cum- Entrance Test (NEET) and compromised on merits of selection. The judge directed authorities to prepare a fresh merit list and conduct the counselling for admissions accordingly. As per the earlier schedule, the merit list for medical courses was to be published today and the counselling to start on July 17.
