IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2982 of 2008 Date of Decision: March 24, 2009 Ishwinder Kaur .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. B.S. Sra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. H.S. Brar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for respondent No.1. None for respondent No.2. Mr. Arun Bansal, Advocate, for respondent No.3. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This civil writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing Para 1(1.5) and Para 5 (5.2) of the Government Notification dated 30.11.2007 (Annexure P-2) whereby reservation policy has not been uniformly applied to the Government and private institutions. The petitioner claims reservation CWP No.2982 of 2008 [2] benefit for the wards of defence personnel and freedom fighters in the State Quota seats of private institutions of the policy framed by respondent No.1. Learned counsel for respondent No.3 has pointed out that the petitioner sought admission for Session 2007-2008 B.Sc Nursing (Post Basic) Course. Reference to the form of admission filled by the petitioner, Annexure R-1/3 indicates that the petitioner specified the category as ‘General’, and therefore, it has been argued on behalf of respondent No.3 that the petitioner never made a claim for the category of wards of defence personnel and freedom fighters in State Quota seats. Learned counsel for the respondent has further drawn the attention of the Court towards the format of the form which stipulates various categories namely General/SC/BC/Others. It has also been brought out that session is already over and therefore, the petitioner cannot get any possible relief. I have considered the issue raised. Perusal of Form, Annexure R-1/3, indicates that the petitioner applied for a seat in General category and had never claimed reservation. I further find that academic session is already over and the issue remains academic only. No ground for invoking extraordinary writ jurisdiction, in the facts and circumstances of CWP No.2982 of 2008 [3] the case, is made out. The petition is dismissed.
