The challenge in this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is to the Government Resolution dated 8/2/2008 issued by the Government of Maharashtra. According to the petitioners, in all 16 in number, the Government Resolution imposes condition of bond for students in medical colleges but such condition could not have been imposed on the students who were selected through All India Medical Entrance Examination for admission under 15% quota for All India students who were admitted to first year M.B.B.S course in the Government hospitals/ hospitals of the Municipal Corporation. 2 wp4849.11 2. This issue had come up for consideration before this Court in Writ Petition No. 2176 of 2010 and connected matters. 69 students who were admitted in All India Quota i.e. in 15% seats reserved for All India students in Government Colleges in the State of Maharashtra who were admitted to the said colleges in the years 2004-2005 and 2005-06 had filed Writ Petition Nos. 2293, 2298 and 2176 of 2010. After considering all the contentions raised by those petitioners this Court held that the condition to give bond of Rs. 5 Lakhs was also applicable to All India Students admitted through 15% quota in the medical colleges of the State Government and Municipal Corporations in the State of Maharashtra. 3. Following the aforesaid Judgment passed on 5/4/2011 in the said Writ Petition No. 2176 of 2010 and connected matters, we do not find any substance in the present petition. We may however, refer to the paragraphs-20 and 21 of the said Judgment, where it was noticed that the compulsory service period has been reduced from 2 years to one year from 2008 onwards and that the benefit of such reduction will be available to the students who were admitted in the year 2004 and 2005. Similar provision of deferment of one year service to the students securing admission to post graduate course 3 wp4849.11 will also be made available to the students who were admitted in any other State within India. 4. Subject to above clarification, this petition is dismissed. CHIEF JUSTICE GIRISH GODBOLE, J
