ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ. This appeal has been preferred against the order of learned Single Judge dismissing the writ petition seeking a direction for admission to the medical college in reserve category of wards of police personnel killed during terrorism. Case of the appellant is that her grand father was working as Assistant Sub Inspector of Police and was killed while fighting with the terrorists. One percent of seats for admission to Medical Colleges are reserved for wards of police personnel killed during terrorism as per notification dated 31.3.2008. The appellant applied under the said category but she was not given admission on the ground that she had secured less than 50% marks in the PMET examination even though seat in that category remained vacant. Learned Single Judge held that in view of the prescribed cut of %age, this Court could not interfere with the denial of admission. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. Letters Patent Appeal No.1445 of 2011 -2- *** It has not been disputed that even if there is reservation, eligibility condition for admission requires 50% marks in the PMET examination which the appellant has not been able to secure. Under these circumstances, the direction sought for admission could not be granted. No ground to interfere with the view taken by the learned Single Judge is made out. The appeal is dismissed.
