Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellant was entitled to admission in the MBBS course under the reserved MI category as per Clause 2.1.4 of the Information Brochure of JEE-2003, despite initial rejection due to a clerical error in the disability certificate issued by the Zilla Sainik Board. The Court emphasized that the rectification of the certificate, which confirmed the father's permanent disability, should have been accepted for admission purposes. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, thereby granting the appellant admission based on her rightful claim and rank.
