2. For many of the petitioners, this is the third or fourth round of challenge before this Court in this connection.

Writ petitions were filed in view of delays in disposal of the applications, particularly where counselling for admission was in progress, and the Court passed necessary directions in this regard.

4. In the next round of litigation, the petitioners challenged earlier show cause notices/orders of the Union, rejecting their applications either fully or partially [i.e., permitting admissions of fewer students than sought by the institution]. Although this Court originally declined interim relief by an order dated 01.02.2021 in one of those writ petitions [W.P.
