Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decisions regarding the allotment of MBBS seats under the Unreserved Category Government School quota. The Court held that the amendments to the Madhya Pradesh Education Admission Rules, 2018, which included provisions for reserving seats for Government School students, must be interpreted to ensure that meritorious candidates from reserved categories are prioritized for these seats before they are allocated to the open category. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the principles of fairness and equity in educational admissions, ultimately directing the State to revise its seat allocation process accordingly.
