The petitioner through counseling was allotted a post graduate medical diploma in Gynecologist and Obstetrics, DGO in MAMC, Delhi but was required toa) Deposit original documents and b) Give a surety bond of Rs. 5 lakhs.

4.

The petitioner was not agreeable to the submission of her original certificates and thus wrote numerous letters informing the respondent that the said condition could not be imposed. The respondent did not agree to the same and the petitioner was not allowed to join the PG Course in MAMC. 5.

From the aforesaid facts, it is clear that the petitioner neither deposited the originals nor the surety bond nor availed of the seat allotted to her.

the respondent has sought the petitioner to pay Rs. 5 lakhs to the respondent. 7.

Mr. Rupal, learned standing counsel for the respondent draws my attention to paragraph 5 of the sur rejoinder which reads as under:- "5. The present Writ Petition has become infructuous as of now since the duration of the said course is over and the Petitioner did not join the same after fulfilling the condition provided for in the Bulletin of Information." 8.

In view of the aforesaid, it is clear that the respondents are not seeking recovery of Rs. 5 lakhs from the petitioner. The respondent No. 2 till date have not initiated any action against the petitioner for seeking recovery of Rs. 5 lakhs.

For the said reasons, the petition has become infructuous and is accordingly disposed of.
