The Writ Petition No. 54845 of 2005, will be considered as leading case, under which the writ petitioner wanted an appropriate order quashing the select list dated 7th/8th May, 2005, in so far as it selects Dr. P.C. Saxena, as Principal of Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad (for short the College) alongwith other incidental prayers.

However, by a corrigendum dated 8th May, 2005 the maximum age limit of the candidates was enhanced. Originally, 6 posts were declared vacant for the purpose of filling up, out of which 3 were reserved for S.C. & S.T. candidates. However, later on such total posts were reduced to 4 in number. There is no dispute with regard to the posts reserved for S.C. & S.T. category. The dispute is with regard to the selection of general category candidate
