KUMARI SUNEETA RAMCHANDRA vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & ANR.

The Supreme Court interpreted Rule C6 (ii) of the Medical Colleges of the Government of Maharashtra Rules for Admissions, 1985-86, clarifying that the provision allowing for the admission of children of Central Government servants transferred to Maharashtra permits two seats per Government Medical College, not a total of two across all colleges. The Court held that the appellant, who was denied admission despite being third in the merit list, was eligible for admission as each college can admit two candidates from this category. The appeal was allowed, overturning the lower court's dismissal of the writ petition under Article 226.
