In Brief
The petitioners with locomotor disability sought admission to MBBS courses under the Persons with Disability quota despite having disability below the 40% threshold required for reservation eligibility. The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petitions, holding that while persons with locomotor disability below 40% can pursue MBBS, they do not qualify for PwD quota reservation. The Court upheld that essential eligibility criteria are binding and cannot be altered retroactively.
