The present writ petition came to be filed seeking the following relief: '..to issue any Writ, Order or Direction, more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the claim of the petitioner for counselling/admission into Post Graduate Medical Degree even though he is fully qualified and eligible in terms of the Notification dated 15.03.2022 issued by the 2nd respondent university in revising the cut-off marks from 50% to 35% (i.e.304 marks to 247 marks) out of 800 marks is illegal, arbitrary, unjust, contrary to Right to Education act and in violation of articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for admission into Post Graduation Medical Degree in the ensuing counselling under Management Quota in the interest of justice and pass such other order...' 3. at the time when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner herein may be allowed to participate in the counselling for the unfilled C-Category seats for Post Graduate Medical Degree Course and that there is every possibility of the petitioner getting a seat in the said category. 4.

The same is again disputed by learned counsel for the petitioner. 6. Having regard to the above and since the representation of the petitioner shows that the counselling is likely to end today, the petitioner may be permitted to participate in the counselling, if the counselling is still in progress and if the petitioner satisfies all the requirements in which event, the authorities may deal with the case of the petitioner in accordance with law. 7. accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 8. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
