D. P. JOSHI vs THE STATE OF MADHYA BHARAT ANDANOTHER.

The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of a rule from the Madhya Bharat Government that exempted bona fide residents from capitation fees for medical college admission while imposing fees on non-residents. The Court held that this rule did not violate Article 15(1) as it distinguished between residence and place of birth, and the classification was reasonable under Article 14, aimed at promoting education within the state. The dissenting opinion argued against the legality of regional domicile distinctions in Indian law.
