The case was originally filed as writ petitions in the Madras High Court, where petitioners challenged the reservation for OBC and EWS candidates in the All- India Quota (AIQ) seats for ... NEET UG and PG admissions. The High Court upheld the reservations and directed the Union Government to constitute an Expert Committee. Dissatisfied with the decision and the subsequent government notification implementing the reservation, the petitioners appealed to the Supreme Court.
