Supreme Court has upheld Allahabad High Court judgment quashing Uttar Pradesh government order to provide 30 per cent reservation in admissions to post-graduate medical courses to those doctors in government service who have served in rural areas. A bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur, however, held that "incentive marks" of up to 30 per cent of total marks can be awarded to "eligible in-service" doctors in admission tests, if they have served in rural areas.
