Dr. Saurabh Dwivedi vs Union Of India on 7 June, 2017
In view of the
order dated 18.01.2016 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.
76 of 2015 and connected matters titled Ashish Ranjan v. Union
of India & Ors., (2016) 11 SCC 225, normally we would be
reluctant to extend the time. However, the present case has some
17
peculiar facts of its own. The High Court has, on a totally
erroneous basis, set aside a substantial portion of the counselling
on 29th May, 2017 which would have resulted in fresh counselling
and, therefore, some seats which could be filled up on 30 th or 31st
May, 2017 could not be filled up. That process which would have
taken only 2 days’ time, would now require a minimum of 5 or 6
days’ time because action will have to be taken afresh.
