(2.)MR . A.K. Mathur, learned Additional Advocate General on behalf of the non -petitioners submitted that there was a mistake in admitting the petitioners and that mistake cannot be allowed to be perpetuated. According to the Rules the petitioners could not have been admitted and so non -petitioner No. 2 was right in cancelling their admissions. Learned Advocate General pressed that all admissions made were purely on the basis of marks obtained by the candidates and no candidate securing less than 235 marks could have been admitted in M.B.B.S. against general quota list and since the petitioners' total marks obtained by them were 234, they were not admitted. The candidates who had obtained 234 marks and marks obtained by them in Science subject in First Year IPC Course were also brought to my notice i.e. R/3 was referred.
I have considered the rival contentions of the learned Counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Additional Advocate General. It appears from Ex. R. 2 dated October 11, 1983 which is issued for Convenor Admission Boaid and Principal and Controller that the petitioners along with other candidates who had secured 234 marks out of 400 marks in P.M.T. Examination were required to appear for interview on October 20, 1983. There is no order of admission in regard to the petitioners issued by the Convenor, Admission Board (Selection Board). A perusal of Ex. R. 1 shows that the Office Order showing that petitioner Vijay Ramawat who was provisionally selected for M.B.B.S. Course was found medically fit and as he had deposited the college fees he was directed to report himself to the Professor and Head of Department of Anatomy/Physiology Biochemistry and P.S.M. of the College immediately for further instructions to attend the regular classes. Reference was made to the office Order dated November 7, 1983 of Associated Hospitals Jodhpur. It is clear that the admission List in regard to the vacancies were issued from time to time. It appears from Anx. 1 that the names of the petitioners did not appear in the Admission List for M.B.B.S. Course which was issued by the Selection Board. It is not the case of the petitioners that the Convenor, Admission Board and Principal and Controller of Associated Group of Hospitals, Jaipur, had admitted the petitioners. The Principal, Dr. S.N. Medical College and the Associated Group of Hospitals, Jodhpur, issued orders for admission of each of the petitioners on different dates as is borne out from Anx. 1, representing them that they have been admitted. In these circumstances the question is whether the Principal of Dr. S.N. Medical College and the Controller of the Associated Group of Hospitals Jodhpur could cancel admission of the petitioners when he himself asked them and represented that they have been admitted to M.B.B.S. Course and asked them to deposit fees. It is clear from Ex. R. 4 that they were medically examined and found fit and were asked to attend the regular classes. Could he cancel their admissions by issuing Anx. 1 dated December 17, 1983?
