Indian court overturns Uttar Pradesh's medical college seat reservations, capping them at 50%.

The Allahabad High Court has overturned Uttar Pradesh's orders that resulted in over 79% of seats being reserved in four government medical colleges, directing the state to refill seats according to the 2006 Reservation Act, which caps reservations at 50%. This decision followed a petition by NEET candidate Sabra Ahmed, who argued that the reservation limit was unlawfully increased between 2010 and 2015. The court rejected the state's claim that the 50% limit was flexible, emphasizing the need for legal procedures.
