Tripurari Sharan And Anr. vs Ranjit Kumar Yadav .

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's judgment regarding the admission process for MBBS/BDS and PG courses as per the circular dated 14.11.1995, clarifying that a Meritorious Reserved Candidate (MRC) is treated as a general merit candidate and can choose between general and reserved category seats. The Court emphasized that the seat vacated by an MRC should be filled by candidates from the reserved category, maintaining the integrity of the admission process. The ruling was based on precedents set in Ramesh Ram and Ritesh R. Sah cases, affirming the distinction in admission criteria for different categories under the relevant statutes.
