Choudhury learned Standing C ounsel, Health Department appearing for all the respondents. Considering the grievance raised in the writ petition and as agreed to b y the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is being disposed of a t the motion stage itself. The petitioner who passed the Higher Secondary Examination (Science Stre am) from the Cotton College, Guwahati in the year 2008 has appeared in the combi ned Entrance Examination for selection of candidates for admission into MBBS/BAM S/BE/BTECH Course in the State of Assam for the Session 2010-2011 and succeeded in the written test. She appeared in the first round of counselling for such se lection held on 15.7.2010 and was placed at Serial No. 80 in the waiting list. I n the meantime, the petitioner had to leave the State of Assam for serious illne ss of her grand father who died on 16.7.2010 in Hisar, Haryana. Moreover, the pe titioner herself also became ill and she was hospitalised at Hisar from 20th Jul y to 28th July, 2010. Finally she came back to Assam only on 29th July, 2010. I n the meanwhile, the State respondents decided to increase 135 seats in the Jorh at Medical College and Silchar Medical College for MBBS Course and further to co nduct Second Round of counselling on 27th & 28th of July, 2010 to fill up those seats. But due to crisis of domestic front faced by the petitioner as well as he r illness she was completely in dark about second round of counselling conducted by the respondents on 27th and 28th July, 2010. She came to know about the same only after her arrival on 29th July, 2010. Immediately the petitioner submitted representation before the respondent authority fervently requesting therein to allow her a chance to appear in the counselling so as to enable her to get admis sion in the MBBS course, but the same has evoked no response till date. Mr. Mazumdar has submitted that admission process will be going on till 30.9.2010 and from the past practices it is evident that some seats may remain v acant due to opt out for other avenues by some candidates. In the aforesaid back ground, Mr. Mazumdar has submitted that the petitioner shall submit a fresh repr esentation within 7(seven) days from today before the Director, Medical Educatio n praying for consideration of her case and a direction be issued to dispose of the same within a time frame. To the limited prayer so made on behalf of the petitioner, the learned S tanding Counsel, Health Department has raised no objection. Accordingly, respondent No.2, i.e., Director of Medical Education is dir ected to dispose of the representation to be submitted by the petitioner within two weeks from the date of receipt of the same considering her case as depicted herein above. The petitioner shall submit a certified copy of this order as well as a copy of the writ petition and the annexures appended thereto alongwith the representation before the respondent No.2 for doing the needful. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
