THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28351 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners seek a declaration that the action of respondent Nos.1 to 8 in not taking steps in the process of admission into M.B.B.S. Course, in accordance with the relevant Rules, is illegal and unconstitutional and for direction to respondents, to admit the petitioners in any one of the respondents’ colleges. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleaders for Higher Education and Social Welfare for respondent Nos.1 and 3 and 2 respectively, Sri C.Sudesh Anand, learned Counsel for respondent Nos.4 and 5, Sri K.Sri Ram, Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee, and Sri K.Rathangapani Reddy, learned counsel for respondent Nos. 6 to 8 respectively. The petitioners appeared in ICET-2008 and they were assigned with various ranks by the Convener. However, they were not invited to the counselling. Though several candidates, who secured ranks inferior to the petitioners, were not only invited to the counselling, but also admitted into the Course. The attention of this Court is drawn to the correspondence that ensued between various agencies. One instance of direction being given for admission of the candidates, who are otherwise wronged to be admitted for the subsequent academic year, is brought to the notice of this Court. It is, no doubt, true that the petitioners secured ranks, which otherwise would have enabled them to get admission into the M.B.A. Course in one college or the other. The fact, however, remains that the names of the petitioners do not figure in the list of candidates, who were denied admission, for no fault of them. In other words, the petitioners were also equally at fault in not being alert to seek admission at the relevant point of time. Another aspect of the matter is that the petitioners did not appear in ICET for the current academic year. Viewed from any angle, this Court does not find any basis to grant relief to the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:28.10.2009 kdl
