JAMMU: In a LPA filed by the J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations against the judgment of writ Court whereby Writ Court directed to select and allocate discipline/stream of MD/MS/PG Diploma course by treating the petitioner as candidate belonging to ALC category, a Division Bench of State High Court Comprising Chief Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar and Justice Tashi Rabstan after going through the appeal and judgment of writ court, Thursday observed that in this case the 1st respondent has not claimed seat under ALC category for admission in PG course, hence order of the Single Judge giving direction to treat the Sovia Anand as ALC category candidate and consider her for admission against the vacant seat cannot be accepted when the Sovia Anand was not vigilant while submitting her application as well as in getting renewal of her ALC status, which the Sovia Anand could get only after the merit list for admission was published.
Division Bench further observed that the question of granting admission beyond the cut off date does not arise, hence the issue regarding giving direction to admit the student in PG course after the cut off date needs no finding. With these observations Division Bench allowed the appeal and set-aside the judgment of writ court.
