SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.24904 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are doctors aspiring for admission to post- graduate medical courses this year. They seek admission in the service quota. According to them, about twenty six seats are vacant for want of candidates and therefore, they have filed representations before respondents 1 and 2 seeking admission. The petitioners seek a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on those representations. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. The last date for making any kind of admissions to post-graduate courses in medicine this year is already over. The Supreme Court has time and again held that even if seats are vacant, after the last date fixed for making admissions is over, no admission shall be made. As such I cannot direct the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioners, in so far as the respondents cannot allow admissions in view of the specific W.P.(c)No.24904/10 2 direction of the Supreme court in that regard. Therefore, there is no merit in this writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(c)No.24904/10 3
