In Brief
A Maharashtra-domiciled student whose BSF-employed father was posted outside the state was granted MBBS admission through State quota, then wrongly denied without notice. The Supreme Court held that children of government or paramilitary employees domiciled in Maharashtra are entitled to State quota seats regardless of parental posting location—the place of deployment is beyond their control. The clause requiring posting within Maharashtra was arbitrary and discriminatory. The Court set aside the cancellation as illegal, violated natural justice, and granted restitutive relief by directing the college to provide admission as an additional seat in the 2024 academic year, plus ₹1 lakh compensation.
