Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision directing the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) to consider Sneha Satyanarayan Agrawal for admission to Indira Gandhi Medical College, Nagpur, by shifting Kirti Shivajirao Ruikar to Government Medical College, Yavatmal. The Court emphasized adherence to the admission rules regarding seat allocation and the right of candidates to exercise their preferences. The judgment reinforced the principle that administrative bodies must act in accordance with established rules and ensure fair consideration of all candidates' preferences.
