Headnote | Education/Educational Institutions – Extension of time for carrying out counselling for P.G. courses – Petitioner no.1-Society sought extension of time for carrying out counselling for medical colleges/deemed Universities, since large number of seats in these colleges for P.G. courses were lying vacant – Petitioner no.1 relied on the orders passed by the Supreme Court on 11.10.2017 in Miscellaneous Application (M.A.) No. 1043 of 2017 in Interlocutory Application (I.A.) No.96448 of 2017 in W.P.(C)No. 743 of 2017 wherein it was permitted to hold mop-up counselling for unfilled super-speciality seats lying vacant – Held: Petitioners sought a general extension of time not on account of any particular difficulty faced by any individual college or university but generally on the ground that a large number of seats for P.G. courses were lying vacant – Merely because the seats were lying vacant, is not a ground to grant extension of time and grant further opportunity to fill up vacant seats – The fixed time schedule to fill up seats must be followed – Insofar as order dated 11.10.2017 is concerned, it was related to super-speciality seats and Supreme Court had extended the date for counselling on the request of the Central Government – Further, the said order was only applicable to the said academic year – In the instant case, extension cannot be granted just because some seats were lying vacant without any justification. |
