Petitioners appeared in the All India Pre-
Medical/Dental Entrance Examination, 2010. They were
included in the ranked list also. According to the petitioners,
even after the second round of counselling, there are seats
vacant in the All India Quota and, therefore, they should be
considered for allotment to those seats.
2. In my view, the prayer sought is impermissible in
view of the time schedule prescribed by the Apex Court in its
judgment in Mridul Dhar (Minor) and Others Vs. Union of
India and Others [2005 92) SCC 65]. In terms of the said
judgment, the second round of counselling is to be over by
08-08-2010 and the students are to join within fifteen days.
Going by the said schedule, even if there are vacancies after
the second round of counselling, the seats will stand reverted
to the respective State quota and no further allotment is
WPC.30146/10
: 2 :
permissible. This Court is bound by the directions of the Apex
Court and, therefore, the prayer sought for in the writ petition
cannot be granted. True, the counsel for the petitioner has a
contention that the schedule prescribed by the Apex Court is
not complied with. In my view, if it is so, it is a matter for the
aggrieved to approach the Apex Court and seek appropriate
reliefs.
The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
