Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the preparation of the waiting list for the B.T.C. Entrance Examination was based on roll numbers rather than merit, as indicated by the marks secured by the candidates. The Court found that since Dhiraj Kumar Mishra had higher marks than Anand Singh, he had a preferential claim for admission. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the High Court's orders, and dismissed the writ petition filed by the respondent.
