Shikha Aggarwal & Ors vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the deletion of Category III from the NRI quota by the State Government's corrigendum dated 13.7.2007 was unjust to the appellants, who had relied on the original notification and prospectus for their admissions. The Court emphasized that the appellants had forfeited opportunities in other institutions based on their expectation of admission under the NRI quota. Consequently, the Court directed that the appellants be considered for admission under the NRI quota for the academic year 2007, thereby upholding their right to relief based on the peculiar facts of their cases.
