PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ============== W.P.(C).No. 21333 OF 2008 ==================== Dated this the 15th day of July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an applicant for admission to the Post Graduate Medical Courses in Kerala for the year 2008. Petitioner obtained admission to the course, Diploma in Anaesthesia. Petitioner's higher option was M.D. Anaesthesia. The petitioner's contention now is that since a seat has become vacant in M.D. Anaesthesia on account of an admitted student having left the course, the petitioner may be admitted to that vacant seat. 2. Learned Government Pleader opposes the prayer. According to him, it is settled law that no admission can be made after the last date prescribed for admission is over. According to him, the last date fixed for Post Graduate Medical Admission in Kerala this year as fixed by the Supreme Court was 10.06.2008 and at this point of time no further admission even to a vacancy which has arisen can be made. 3. I find that in Ext.P5 prospectus itself it is specifically stated that no allotment/transfer to PG Medical courses will be W.P.(C).No. 21333 OF 2008 2 done under any circumstance after the last date of admission prescribed by the Government of India/Supreme Court. Supreme Court has also categorically prohibited admissions of any kind after the last date is over. In accordance with the Supreme Court judgment on the subject, a specific regulation has also been included by the Medical Council of India to that effect. That being so, the petitioner cannot now aspire for admission to the vacant seat even if the petitioner is eligible. I, therefore, do not think that I can give the reliefs sought for in this writ petition and accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE bkn/-
