Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Maharashtra government's policy of reserving 70% of MBBS seats for local students and 30% for students from outside Bombay, stating that the order of filling these seats was within the state's jurisdiction and not subject to judicial intervention. The Court ruled that the High Court erred in mandating the filling of 30% seats first and clarified that additional seats could only be created with Indian Medical Council's approval. The appeals by the State were allowed, affirming the original reservation policy.
