Govind A. Mane & Ors vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the districtwise distribution of seats for B.Ed admissions was violative of Article 14 of the Constitution, as it failed to secure the best possible talent for admission. The Court referenced the precedent set in Minor P. Rajendran vs. State of Madras, emphasizing that classification must have a reasonable nexus with the objective of selection. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was allowed, reinforcing the need for a common merit list for admissions instead of districtwise allocation.
