IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.2463 of 2011 Date of decision : 28.2.2011 Pooja Verma and others ....Petitioners Versus The State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Kuldip Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioners have filed the instant writ petition with a prayer to grant them admission to D.Ed.(JBT) Course. The petitioners pleaded that respondent No.3-College is having vacant seats and, thus, they can be given admission, and in this eventuality they will be able to complete the course by attending extra classed which the college may arrange for them. It is also said that 55% lecturers can be condoned by the Board of School Education, Haryana and such benefit be also bestowed in their favour. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners, I am of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioners is totally misplaced. The petitioners could not come in during the counselling. The course has already commenced and that at this stage when there is hardly any time left for them to effectively pursue their curriculum, their prayer for admission cannot be granted. Besides, this Court has C.W.P.No.2463 of 2011 -2- already in C.W.P. No.19 of 2011 (Association of Educational Colleges (Regd.), Haryana v. Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and another), decided on 20.1.2011, wherein the private colleges came up praying that they be permitted to fill up the vacant seats, declined their prayer on similar grounds. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 28.2.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
