Unknown vs Date Of Decision : 24.5.2 on 24 May, 2011
10. The High Court, in allowing the Writ Petitions
purported to follow an earlier judgment of the Full Bench of
the very High Court reported in Amardeep Singh Sahota v.
State of Punjab 1993(3) P.L.R. 212 (supra). On carefully
going through that judgment, we find that the Full Bench did
not doubt the competency or authority of the Government to
stipulate procedure for admission relating to courses in
professional colleges, particularly in respect of reserved
category of seats, but on the other hand, it specifically
C.W.P. No.6333 of 2011 -24-
deprecated the decision to do away with the requirement of
minimum marks criteria in respect of seats reserved for sports
category and that too by passing orders after the examinations
were held under a scheme notified in the Prospectus. As a
matter of fact the Full Bench, ultimately directed in that case,
that selections for admissions be finalized in the light of the
criteria specified in the Government orders already in force
and the Prospectus, after ignoring the offending notification
introducing a change at a later stage.
