casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Apurva Dyaneshwar Mhatre's writ petition seeking permission to appear in final-year MBBS examinations. Her admission to Somaiyya Medical College (2012-2013) under OBC category was cancelled after her father's non-creamy layer certificate was found invalid due to suppressed employment details. After three unsuccessful rounds of High Court litigation (2016, 2018, 2023) and dismissal of her special leave petition by the Supreme Court in 2016, the Court found the petition unmaintainable as the earlier orders had attained finality. However, the petitioner was granted liberty to approach authorities for sympathetic consideration on humanitarian grounds, subject to paying fees for a management quota seat. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
