P.A. Inamdar & Ors vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors on 12 August, 2005

19. The question that arises in the present case may perhaps not have been dealt with earlier, in the sense, the right of a private institution to impose a higher percentage of qualifying marks has not been challenged before. This is only because historically, until recently, there were only Government Medical Colleges and private institutions are a fairly recent phenomenon. But however, when the Supreme Court has upheld the right of the Government, as the body which runs the medical colleges, to prescribe a test of eligibility, equally, the private institutions, which run their own colleges, have the same right. In fact, their right perhaps is wider than the State's, which will have to follow the reservation policy while admitting students. As we have seen from the judgments in Pai Foundation's case and Inamdar's case, private unaided medical institutions cannot be forced to adopt the reservation policy and it is for them to devise an arrangement voluntarily to fulfill the social obligations that the Constitution demands, but it is made clear that is purely on their own volition.

In N. Priyadarshini v. The Secretary to Government, Education Department , the First Bench of this Court held that the Government Page 2507 Order declaring that admissions to professional courses to be purely on basis of marks obtained in Plus Two Examinations alone must be quashed. Reference was made to the Medical Council of India Regulations which provide that in States having more than one University/Board/Examining Body conducting the qualifying examination, a competitive entrance examination should be held and therefore, the First Bench quashed the G.O. on the ground that there would be clear discrimination if the Common Entrance Test is abolished and the marks obtained by candidates in the qualifying examination alone are taken into account, since there are different examining boards, different syllabi, different question papers etc.
