Ashish Kumar Ranjan vs Union Of India & Ors on 6 December, 2016
In
view of the order dated 18.01.2016 passed by this
Court in Writ Petition No.76 of 2015 and
connected matters tilted 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 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 30th 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.
