JUDGMENT Vasanti A Naik, J. 1. Since the issue involved in these writ petitions is identical, they are heard and are decided by this common judgment. 2. By these writ petitions, the petitioners have sought a writ of mandamus against the respondents, State of Maharashtra and others to regularize the admissions of the petitioners in the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the respondent-College in the academic session 2008-09 and pass appropriate orders permitting the petitioners to appear at the examination and declare the results of the petitioners. 3. The petitioners in all the writ petitions were admitted to the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the respondent-College in the years 2008-09 in the seats sanctioned by the competent authorities. The admissions of the petitioners were made after following the due process in the centralized admission process. The petitioners were permitted to appear at the first year M.D. (Ayurved) examination without any objection from any of the authorities and they submitted their thesis and appeared at the written examination. When the petitioners tendered their thesis for the second year examination, an objection was raised by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences that the petitioners' admissions were wrongfully made as the intake capacity of the college was reduced in the subsequent years. The petitioners have, therefore, approached this court by filing the petitions. 4. In terms of our interim orders, the petitioners were permitted to appear at the examination and the petitioners have cleared the M.D. (Ayurved) course and have secured the degrees. 5. In our view, the respondent-Maharashtra University of Health Sciences could not have raised an objection about the eligibility of the admissions of the petitioners to the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the year 2008 and 2009. There is no dispute that the petitioners were admitted as per the due selection process and through the centralized admission process. The petitioners were also permitted to appear at the first year M.D. (Ayurved) examination without any objection from any of the respondents. Merely because the intake capacity of the colleges was reduced subsequently i.e. after the admissions of the petitioners in the colleges were made, the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences could not have raised an objection about the eligibility of the admissions of the petitioners in the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the year 2008-09. The action of the respondent-University appears to be incorrect. The action of the respondent-University appears to be incorrect. In any case, the petitioners have passed the M.D. (Ayurved) course and have secured the degrees. 6. Hence, the writ petitions are allowed. The action on the part of the respondent-University questioning the admission of the petitioners in the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the year 2008-09 is declared as illegal. The admissions of the petitioners to the M.D. (Ayurved) course in the year 2008-09 are held to have been correctly made. 7. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms with no order as to costs.
