J U D G M E N T The petitioners are challenging the admission granted to respondents 3 and 4 to Post Graduate Medical Courses in Medical Colleges in Kerala in preference to the petitioners. They have elaborately detailed alleged illegality in admission made by the 2nd respondent in granting admission to respondents 3 and 4 in preference to the petitioners. 2. I have heard elaborate arguments of the petitioners. However, I am not inclined to even consider those arguments at this point of time, in view of the fact that the last date for making any type of admission to Post Graduate Medical Course in Medical Colleges in Kerala, is already over on 10.6.2008. The Supreme Court has held that after the cut of date prescribed for admission, no admission of any kind shall be made to Post Graduate Medical Courses in the country, as per which direction, the Medical Council of India, in their regulations prescribed a cut of date for making admissions. In the above circumstances, the petitioners W.P.(C).No. 17119 OF 2008 2 cannot be given any relief in the matter, in view of the expiry of the last date for making admissions even assuming that their contentions are correct. Accordingly, this writ petition is closed without going into the merits of the case though elaborate arguments have been advanced before me on the same. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE bkn/-
