JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks for the following reliefs:

“i) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order, directing the 2nd respondent to permit the petitioner (Application No. 2106435) to attend the next phase of her PG Admission process by accepting the Exhibit P9 document;

ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order, directing the 2nd respondent to grant 2 months' time for the petitioner to produce the Embassy attested copy of the Overseas employment certificate of her sponsor;

iii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order, directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of exhibit P16 representation forthwith.”

2. The petitioner claims admission under the NRI quota, after the cut off mark was revised to ‘103’. The petitioner had scored 276 marks in the NEET PG 2025. Since there were certain defects in the application submitted by the petitioner claiming NRI quota, petitioner was directed to cure those defects as per Ext.P14. However, petitioner sought further time. In the meantime, this writ petition was filed seeking the above mentioned reliefs.

3. Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned Government Pleader submitted that during the pendency of the writ petition, petitioner had produced documents evidencing the existence of a VISA with the job of the sponsoror mentioned therein. The learned Government Pleader submitted that in view of the new document now submitted by the petitioner, she becomes eligible to be considered under the NRI quota for admission to the Medical PG course. The said submission is recorded.

In view of the above, nothing further remains to be considered and the writ petition is disposed of.
