Binayak Saha v. Union Of India And ORS.

Ct AGM 07.07 W.P.A. 9352 of 2022 Binayak Saha

Versus

Union of India & Ors Mr. Uttam Banerjee, Mr. Arunesh Pathak, Mr. Aniruddha Singha Roy ... For the petitioner.

Despite service none appears for the respondents. Let the affidavit-of-service filed by the petitioner in Court today be kept with the record.

The petitioner seeks admission in M.B.B.S. Course on the strength of his performance in National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG)-2021 against the available vacancies.

In terms of the judgment, reported at (2016) 11 SCC 225 (Ashish Ranjan v. Union of India), the last date for admission in the medical course has been fixed on 31st August of that particular academic year. However, by a subsequent order dated May 9, 2022 passed in that case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had extended the time till April 28, 2022, keeping in mind the pandemic situation. The petitioner seeks admission beyond the scheduled time fixed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The petitioner cannot be admitted to a medical course at this juncture.

I do not find any merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, WPA 9352 of 2022 is dismissed.

Let urgent photostat certified copies of this order, if applied for be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all necessary formalities.
