Karnataka High Court ne authorities ko direct kiya hai ki woh swimmer Siri Srikanth ko MBBS course mein sports quota ke tahat admission dein. Siri, jo ek accomplished swimmer hain aur multiple national medals jeet chuki hain, ne sports quota ke under medical college admission ke liye petition file ki thi. Court ne kaha ki Siri ka exceptional performance aur sports achievements ko dekhte hue, unhe MBBS mein seat milni chahiye. Is decision se na sirf Siri, balki anya athletes ko bhi motivation milega jo sports aur academics dono mein excellence achieve karna chahte hain.
Shuruaati Jeevan Aur Swimming Career
Siri Srikanth ka swimming ke prati junoon chhoti umar se hi shuru ho gaya tha. Karnataka se aane wali Siri ne jaldi hi state aur national competitions mein apne pratibha ka pradarshan kiya. Unki dedication aur rigorous training schedule ne unhe kai medals aur awards dilaye, aur wo ek shandar swimmer ke roop mein ubhar kar saamne aayi.
Unki swimming ka jalwa shuru se hi dikhne laga tha. Siri ne state-level championships mein kai gold medals jeete aur national events mein bhi significant placements hasil kiye. In achievements ne sirf unki pratibha ko hi nahi, balki unki physical fitness aur skills mein mastery ko bhi dikhaya.
Academic Pursuits Aur Admission Ki Struggle
Swimming achievements ke alawa, Siri Srikanth ek dedicated student bhi hain. Unka sapna tha ek doctor banne ka, aur isi sapne ko pura karne ke liye unhone 2022-23 academic year ke liye Common Entrance Test (CET) aur National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) diya. Pehle, Siri ko Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) dwara sports quota ke under eligibility list mein 24th rank di gayi thi. Lekin, revised list ne unka rank 29th kar diya, jisse unka MBBS program mein admission cancel ho gaya.
Apne saath hue anyaay ke khilaf Siri ne court ka sahara liya. Unhone bataya ki Sathwik Shivanand, jinka pehle rank 117 tha aur baad mein 129, unhe Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College mein admission mil gaya. Ek doosre candidate ko, jo list mein tha hi nahi, Dr. Chandramma Dayanandasagar Institute of Medical Education mein admission mil gaya (Bangalore Mirror) (SC Legal News).
Kanooni Jung Aur Court Ka Faisla
Yeh case Karnataka Selection of Candidates for Admission to Government Seats in Professional Educational Institutions Rules, 2006 ke interpretation ko ujaagar karta hai. Rule 9(1)(B) ke mutabik, Siri jo P-IV category mein thi, unhe Shivanand jo P-V category mein the, ke upar preference milna chahiye tha. Court ne paaya ki KEA ne candidates ke inter-se merit/ranking ka jo application kiya tha wo in rules ke khilaf tha aur usse unsustainable mana gaya (Bangalore Mirror) (SC Legal News).
Karnataka High Court ke division bench, jisme Chief Justice N V Anjaria aur Justice K V Aravind shaamil the, ne Siri Srikanth ke paksh mein faisla sunaya. Court ne authorities ko direct kiya ki unhe 2024-25 academic year ke liye MBBS course mein admit kiya jaye. Yeh faisla KEA dwara rules ke galat application aur Siri ke saath hue anyaay ko dekhte hue diya gaya. Court ne zor diya ki jabki Shivanand ka admission cancel nahi kiya ja sakta kyunki wo bhi meritorious hain aur unki padhai chal rahi hai, Siri ka rightful place turant secure kiya jaye (Bangalore Mirror) (SC Legal News).
Faisle Ka Asar
Court ka yeh faisla sirf Siri ke liye nahi, balki un sab athletes ke liye bhi ek badi jeet hai jo isi tarah ki challenges face karte hain. Yeh established rules ka palan karne ki importance aur deserving candidates ko unka hak dilane ki zaroorat ko ujaagar karta hai. Yeh case future disputes mein ek precedent ki tarah kaam karega, sports quotas aur admissions mein transparency aur fairness ke need ko reinforce karega.
Siri Srikanth ke liye yeh jeet unke resilience aur determination ka prateek hai. Rigorous training schedules aur academic pursuits ko balance karna koi chhoti baat nahi hai, aur Siri ka safar un multifaceted challenges ko ujaagar karta hai jo student-athletes face karte hain. Courtroom mein unki jeet unke swimming pool mein achievements jitni hi commendable hai, aur unki unwavering commitment to excellence ko reflect karta hai.
Excellence Ki Lagataar Pursuit

Unki kahani ek powerful reminder hai ki sports aur academics mein perseverance kitni zaroori hai. Yeh systemic issues ko bhi highlight karti hai jo address kiye jane chahiye taaki talent aur hard work ko sahi tarah se recognize aur reward kiya ja sake.
Aage dekhte hue, Siri ka safar abhi khatam nahi hua hai. MBBS course mein admission secure karne ke baad, wo apni studies aur swimming mein undoubtedly excellence continue rakhenge.
