The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The High Court while deciding on the issue of admission rules framed by the Government of
Maharashtra providing for seats to children of defence personnel, decided to read the rules by giving
it harmonious interpretation so as to save it from the vice of irrationality or arbitrariness. The
defence personnel are transferred in public interest. During the academic year instead of striking
down any state rule providing for admissions are to be read harmoniously. The view was upholder
by the Supreme Court.
