casestatus.in Summary

Summary of W.P.(C) No. 417/2000 – Magan Mehrotra v. Union of India On December 17, 2002, the Supreme Court heard the writ petitions challenging Delhi University's bulletin requiring MBBS graduates from other universities to be permanent residents of Delhi for postgraduate admission. The Court quashed this bulletin, holding it violated the principle of institutional preference established in Dr. Pradeep Jain's case, and directed States (Assam, Tamil Nadu, Goa, Karnataka) adopting residence-based preferences to follow institutional preference instead. Related civil appeals concerning Banaras Hindu University were disposed with an interim direction capping institutional preference at 30% of intake capacity pending High Court decision.
