IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.14027 OF 2018 Sonam d/o Bhujangrao Jadhav Petitioner

Versus

The Union of India & another Respondents Mr.R.K.Ashtekar, advocate for the petitioner. Mr.S.B.Deshpande, Assistant Solicitor General for Respondents No.1 and 2.

CORAM : S.S.SHINDE AND K.K.SONAWANE, JJ.

DATE : 19th December, 2018.

P.C. :

Learned Counsel for the petitioner seeks leave to delete Respondents No.3 and 4 from the array of respondents. Leave granted. Amendment to be carried out forthwith.

Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Solicitor General for Respondents No.1 and 2. Admittedly, the date for filing online examination form for NEET UG-2019 was 30.11.2018. Even if the contention of the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner is accepted, that it was extended till 07.12.2018, nevertheless, there was no attempt on the part of the petitioner to fill up the online examination form on or before 07.12.2018.

{2} wp1402718.odt We have called upon learned Assistant Solicitor General, appearing for Respondents No.1 and 2, to find out whether there is any discretion with the authorities to allow the petitioner to fill up the online examination form. However, on instructions, learned ASG submits that there is no discretion with respondent-authorities and respondent-authorities have to abide by the time table approved by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. In that view of the matter, we are unable to persuade ourselves to grant any relief to the petitioner. Petition stands disposed of.
