BAGYASHRI S.MADBHAVIKAR vs STATE OF GOA — C.A. No. 2458/1998

Summary: On March 18, 2004, the Supreme Court dismissed Bagyashri S. Madbhavikar's appeal challenging her denial of SC (Scheduled Caste) reserved seat admission to Goa Medical College's MBBS program for 1997-98. Although her parents were SC candidates from Maharashtra and she was born and residing in Goa, the Court held that state-based reservation requirements applied, citing the precedent in Marri Chandra Shekharao's case. The Court found no grounds to interfere, noting that the competing candidate granted the reserved seat was from Goa and had already completed the course.
