18.02.2021.

WPA 4760 of 2021 ab Ct.

Indian Centre For Advancement of Research and Education and Anr.

Vs The Union of India & Ors.

Mr. Uday Sankar Chattopadhyay Mr. Suman Sankar Chattopadhyay Mr. Sayan Chattopadhyay Mr. Santanu Maji ... For the Petitioners.

Mr. Sirsanya Bandopadhyay ... For the State.

Learned Counsel appearing for the Haldia Institute of Dental Sciences and Research submits that a request was made on 21st January, 2021 to the Director of Medical Education & Ex-Officio Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare regarding allotment of one quota seat following withdrawal of one student namely Miss. Satabdi Guha Neogi in college mop up round but the request letter was not considered by the State.

Mr.

Bandopadhyay, learned Counsel appearing for the State submits that the letter issued by the Haldia Institute of Dental Sciences and Research dated 21st January, 2021 was not received by the State. When the list of vacancies were published by the State on 30th January, 2021, the college never objected to such vacancy. However, for

the end of justice, if a non-allotted student is allotted a seat which remains vacant in the college, there is no objection from the State provided he qualifies in merit list.

Heard both the parties.

I find that no one is representing Dental Council of India. A letter shown before this Court by the petitioner and issued by the Dental Council of India categorically states that today i.e. 18th February, 2021 (12 midnight) is the last date for admission in BDS course. As there is no objection on the part of the State to get a student admitted in BDS course as per merit list, let the college admit a student on the basis of merit and the State is also requested to regularize candidature of the admitted student. However, the college is also requested to hand over all the original documents to Miss. Satabdi Guha Neogi who does not wish to proceed with her education as a BDS student.

With the above direction WPA 4760 of 2021 is disposed of.

Since no affidavits have been invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted by the respondents. There will be no order as to costs.

The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
