ASTHA TAKKAR Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The grievance of the petitioner is that although under 40% quota went for fresh graduates, a seat in Govt. Medical College, Amritsar was still available, but the petitioner was being denied admission wrongly and without any justification.

(2.) The claim of the petitioner has been contested by the respondents. The following averments made in the written statement, taken by way of preliminary objection may be noticed as follows:

(3.) That the petitioner, is low in merit and cannot claim admission in M.D (Obst. & Gynae) over and above the merit of other meritorious candidates, as the petitioner is on merit No. 36 under 40% quota seats, the last candidate selected in M.D (Obst. & Gynae) on merit No. 8, therefore, there are many candidates between merit No. 8 and 36 who can claim admission in M.D (Obst. & Gynae).
