IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.14332 of 2010 Yogesh Vs. State of Punjab & others Present: Mr.Surmukh Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner belongs to Backward Class category. He was aspirant for getting admission in B.V. SC & AH/B.G. SC/B. Tech. Course. The prospectus for admission to said course was issued and one of the conditions for being eligible as a Backward Class category candidate was that the family should not have income more than Rs.2.50 lacs. The petitioner accordingly submitted his application as a general category candidate and has been so considered. He has now filed this writ petition to seek direction that he be considered in the Backward Class category on the ground that the income limit, which was earlier published at Rs.2.50 lacs, has been raised by the Government to Rs.4.50 lacs. By not amending the condition in the prospectus, the petitioner states to have been misled. The petitioner would attribute this fault on the part of the respondents and accordingly seeks direction for his consideration as a Backward Class category candidate. Once the petitioner has submitted his application as a general category candidate, he was rightly considered in the said category. Even if the petitioner is a Backward Class category candidate, he cannot now be considered in the said category, for which he has never applied. The Government may have carried out amendment in regard to the income limit, but that amendment has not been incorporated in the conditions imposed in the prospectus. The counsel at this stage revers to and relies upon the case of Rupinder Sahota Vs. State of Punjab & others, 2003(3) Civil Writ Petition No.14332 of 2010 : 2 : RSJ 791. This is a case where admission of some candidates was challenged on the ground that they were wrongly admitted in reserved category. The candidates admitted in this case have applied in reserved category in the OMR form and had indicated their category as Ex-serviceman in the application as well. The Division Bench had dismissed the writ petition which had been filed to challenge the admission of the said candidates in reserved category. That is not the situation in the present case. Here the petitioner was required to apply in a category in which he wished to be considered. He had applied in the general category and cannot be considered in the Backward Class category. No case for interference, thus, is made out. Dismissed. August 13, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
