IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.5477 of 2008 Date of Decision:02.04.2008 Simranpreet Kaur Bal .....Petitioner versus Baba Farid University and others .....Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA AND HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr.B.S.Jaswal, Advocate, for the petitioner. *** ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(Oral) The petitioner has prayed that the directions be issued to the respondents to admit her in B.Sc. (Nursing) course for the year 2007-08 and also prayed for quashing of order (Annexure P-7) vide which her representation was rejected. The petitioner cleared the Punjab Para Medical Entrance Test-2007 by securing 296 marks. She appeared in the counselling for admission in B.Sc. (Nursing) course against the category of children of freedom-fighters on 01.11.2007. The petitioner had sought admission in the Government Nursing College at Amritsar. Initially, the petitioner was issued the admission slip for getting admission in the Government Nursing College, Amritsar. However, on the same day, it transpired that one Ms.Tanjit Kaur who had also cleared her Punjab Para Medical Entrance Test-2007 had secured 352 marks whereas the petitioner had secured 296 marks and hence, her admission slip was cancelled and the admission was given to Ms.Tanjit Kaur in Government C.W.P.No.5477 of 2008 --2-- Nursing College, Amritsar-respondent No.2 in the category of dependents of children of freedom-fighters. The petitioner filed CWP No.454 of 2008 which was disposed of with the direction that the respondents should consider the representation of the petitioner. The representation filed by the petitioner has been rejected vide order (Annexure P-7) dated 29.01.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that once the petitioner was issued the admission slip, there was no reason to cancel the same by giving admission to one Ms.Tanjit Kaur, though she had secured more marks. We have perused the order (Annexure P-7) and after perusal, we are of the considered opinion that as Ms.Tanjit Kaur had secured more marks than the petitioner, therefore, she had rightly been given the admission in the category of dependents of children of freedom-fighters. The admission was given to Ms.Tanjit Kaur on the same day when the admission slip was issued to the petitioner. Apart from the above, the petitioner has got admission in S.V.Memorial College of Nursing, Amritsar, therefore, no prejudice is caused to the petitioner. In view of the above, we find no merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE April 02, 2008 (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) seema JUDGE
