The petitioner, Jeya Sharmila of Madurai, sought reservation for her son Mothi Aniroudh in MBBS course under Priority III of the special category reserved for children of ex-servicemen. She said that her husband late M. Ramesh, a Havildar with the Indian Army, died in 2004, when her son was three years old. Since her husband had died in service, her son should have been placed under Priority III for reservation in MBBS admission.

Ramesh disposed of the petition by observing that liability could be made out. However, the petitioner could approach the principal seat for relief, he said.
