ORDER The petitioner is permitted to make necessary correction of description of respondent no. 3 and the cause title of the petition. 2. Heard the counsel for the parties. This application is being disposed of on merit at the admission stage itself. 3. The petitioner applied for admission in M.B.B.S. In her application for admission, inter-alia, the petitioner gave the income of the parents as Rs. 500/- although the income of her father, the earning member in the family, was about Rs. 70.000/-. According to the petitioner Rs. 5,500/- was mentioned on the mistaken notion that income from agriculture was only required to be disclosed. As it was found that the total income of the father of the petitioner was more than Rs. 6,000/-, her case could not have been considered for admission in M.B.B.S. as a economically backward candidate. The petitioner was refused admission and the petitioner was informed of the same by Annexure-6. 4. The fact that the petitioner could not have been a candidate as a economically backward category was not disputed. It was submitted on behalf of the petitioner that in the combined competitive examination the petitioner had obtained 78 marks and the candidates who have obtained above 74 marks have been admitted in that course. According to the petitioner in view of this she should have been selected on merit. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that since the petitioner concealed material facts while disclosing the total income of the family of the petitioner, the petitioner cannot claim admission on merit. 5. It is true that the petitioner had claimed initially admission on the basis of the fact that the total income of her family members was less than Rs. 6,000/- but when that appeared to be corrected we find no reason why the respondents did not consider the case of the petitioner for admission on merit along with other candidates. 6. We, therefore, allow this application with a direction to respondent no. 3 to admit the petitioner as candidates who had obtained lesser marks than the petitioner have been admitted.
