Central Inland Water ... vs Brojo Nath Ganguly & Anr on 6 April, 1986

51. It is true that Petitioner No.1 had a choice of 156 accredited institutions from which to take admission. He also had a choice of disciplines to take. Notwithstanding this, admission to an institution or a discipline of ones choice is not guaranteed to every student who passes the primary examination of the NBE. The number of seats is limited to 570 and it was mentioned during the course of oral submissions that only about 30% of the candidates are able to get admission to the DNB course. It is not therefore, a free market situation where each candidate has a large number of meaningful choices available. He has to take what he gets and to this extent there can be no complaint. But, if he has to take what he gets on terms which are unfair, unreasonable and exploitative, the Court is under a duty to step in and set the balance right. Given the facts of this case, I am clearly of the view that the principle laid down in Brojo Nath Ganguly is applicable and the term imposed on Petitioner No.1 to the effect that he has to complete the course without payment must be held unconscionable and void.

I find hardly any similarity between the facts of Randhir Singh and the facts of the present case. Admission to an academic course that involves practical training stands on a completely different footing. Moreover, as already discussed above, students undertaking a post-graduate degree course such as an MS/MD course fall in a different class from students undertaking a post-graduate diploma course such as a DNB course by virtue of their being academically better equipped. Even Randhir Singh recognizes such a differentiation as is evident from the following passage in paragraph 7 of the Report:-
