PRESENT: Mr. Karminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. CIVIL MISC. NO.14156 OF 2010 Documents taken on record and writ petition is preponed for hearing to today. Application disposed of. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.17612 OF 2010 The petitioner is an applicant for seat in three years LL.B Course in the category of N.R.I candidate. His rank in the entrance test conducted by the respondent University is 342. As per the merit list, his name would appear at 284. He, however, has not been CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.17612 OF 2010 :{ 2 }: granted admission despite the fact that 27 seats were reserved for N.R.I candidates. The petitioner has averred that seats have been filled up from the category of backward class candidates, though there was no provision made for such a reservation in the prospectus or otherwise. This position is not factually correct because in the other connected matters, it has been pleaded before this Court that initially, the University could not provide reservation for backward class category candidates, which has now been subsequently provided. Since it is a constitutional mandate to make reservation for backward class category candidates, the action of the University can not be said to be suffering from any illegality. The prayer made in the writ petition, thus, is without merit and the writ petition, therefore, is dismissed. October 5, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
