K.S. BHOIR vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

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 should have directed the Central Government to grant the increase due to extraordinary circumstances arising from errors in the evaluation of the MH-CET 2001 biology paper. The Court emphasized the need for fair admission processes in light of the revised merit list following re-evaluation of answer sheets.
