"9 1. We have a.lready hcld that Rule 3(IIIXB) of 2017 Rules is violative of Articlc 14 of the Constitution ol India. An interpretation which advances the object nnd purpose of the Act has to be preferred.'lhc object of Rulc 3(lll)(Cl of 2Al7 Rules is to provide reservaticn for iocal candidates. In case the rulc is struck down then students from :rll ovcr the country shall be entitled to admission in medical coileges. 'lherefore, instead of striking down Rule 3(III)(B) of 2017 Rules, it needs to be read down.^'lherefore, wc read down

¶378

l)

¶379

Rule 3(lll)(B) ot 20 17 Rules and it is held rhar the aforesaid Rule shall not apply to permi lent residents of the State of Telangana. Thus, by reading down the provision in the manner indicated above sha]l also be in consonance of object of Article 371D(2)(b)(ii) of the Constitution of India i.e., of making special provision to the people of different parts of State for admission to educational institutions. Therefore, the va-lidity of Rule 3(lll)(B) of 2017 Rules is upheld as interpreted by us. Accordingly, the issue (viii) is answered."

¶380

The learned Division Bench interpreted 3(a) of thre 2Ol7 Rules, as amended vide G.O.Ms.No.33, dated 19.O7.2024, to mean that the petitioners therein shall be eligible to admission in the medical colle ges in the State of Telangana, if their domicile is of State ol Telalgana or if they are permanent residents of the State of Telangana vide its judgment dated 05.09.2024 in W.P.No.2191O of 2024 and batch. The relevant paragraph reads as under:

¶381

"87. For the aforementioned reasons, we direct that Rule 3(a) of the 2O17 Rules, as amended vide G.O.Ms.No.33, dated 19 .O7 .2024, wlll be interpreted to mean that the petitioners shall be eligible to admission in the medical colleges in the State of Telangana, if their domicile is of State of Telangana or if they are^pcrmanent residents of tJle State of Telangana. It is stated at the bar that there are no guidelines / rules framed by the State Governmcnt to ascertain whether a studcnt is a domicile/permement resident of the State of Telangana. We, therefore, grant the

¶382

l

¶383

liberty to the Governrnent to frame the guidelines / rules to determine as to when a student can be consi(lered as a permanent resident of the State of Telangana- The cases of thc p€ titloncrs/ students who claim to be eligible under the aforesaid guidelines/ rules, whici-r may be framcd by the State Government, shall be ccnsidered by the University by application of those guidelines/rules in the facts and circumstances of each casc.'

It uphcld the vires of G.O.Ms.No.33 of 2024 dated 19.07.2024. Apart from that it also took into note that the amendment prol;osed by the learned Advocate General as a proviso to Rule 3 would allay ald mrtigate the grievance ol those who claim that they were taken out of the State by compulsion of the movement o[ their parents outside the State by reason of employment tn Government/All-India Services/ Corporations or Public Sector Undertakings constituted as an instrumentality of the State of Telar-rgana as also defence and paramilitar5z forces who trace their nativity to

the State, subject to the conditions thereunder. With only the said reservation, the Apex Court upheld the 2017 Rules as it stood amended in 2024.
