HARSH PRATAP SISODIA vs U.O.I.

The Supreme Court ruled that the eligibility criteria for admission to medical colleges under the 15% All India Quota, as per Rule 4.4 of the CBSE information bulletin, does not require candidates to have passed their qualifying examination in one attempt. The Court held that the petitioner, who qualified the entrance examination and met the necessary requirements, was wrongfully denied admission by Dr. V.M. Medical College, Solapur. Consequently, the Court directed the college to admit the petitioner, affirming that state-imposed conditions cannot override the national eligibility criteria.
