'A' a state in the Union of India made provisions for district-wise distribution of seats in state medical colleges on the basis of population of a district to the population of the state. Decide the validity of this classification with the help of relevant case law.

Answer & Explanation:

In the case of P. Rajandran, Supreme Court held that for a valid classification, there has to be a rational nexus between the classification made by the law and the object sought to be achieved. A provision for district - wise distribution of seats to the State Medical Colleges on the basis of population of a district to the population of the state was held to be void.
