STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs MANUBHAI PRAGAJI VASHI .

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision that the State of Maharashtra's failure to extend the grant-in-aid scheme to non-Government law colleges was discriminatory, violating principles of equality under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court directed the State to implement the grant-in-aid scheme for these colleges from the academic year June 1988, ensuring equal treatment with other faculties such as Arts and Science. The judgment emphasized the need for timely implementation of the scheme within 12 weeks.
