Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Central Government's rejection of the Maharashtra State Government's request for a one-time increase in admission capacity for MBBS and BDS courses, citing Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court held that the High Court erred in directing the Central Government to grant the increase, emphasizing that the extraordinary situation did not justify overriding the Central Government's discretion. The outcome affirmed the Central Government's decision, thereby upholding the integrity of the admission process in light of the evaluation errors identified in the MH-CET 2001.
