In Brief
The State of Maharashtra challenged a High Court judgment that struck down a domicile requirement for admission to postgraduate medical and dental courses in unaided private institutions. The requirement mandated that candidates must be domiciled in Maharashtra. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision. Relying on prior judgments in Dr. Pradeep Jain and Vishal Goyal cases, the Court held that domicile conditions, even for unaided institutions, violate equality principles and cannot be imposed on graduate degree holders seeking postgraduate admission.
