Veena Gupta vs University Of Delhi on 16 September, 1993
We have carefully examined the contentions put forth before the
High Court and before us and we are of the view that the finding
recorded by the Division Bench and Delhi High Court in Dr.Veena
Guptas case [supra] and the High Court of Punjab & Haryana in Anil
Jains case [supra] is in accordance with the reason and stands the test
of rationality. It is clear that once an option is exercised by a candidate
on the basis of which he is allotted the subject and thereafter that
candidate is allowed to participate in subsequent counselling and his
seat becomes vacant, the process of counselling will be endless and, as
apprehended by the High Court, it may not be possible to complete the
academic course within the stipulated period.
