CHAGLA AND ADVAIT M. SETHNA, JJ.; dated 05TH MARCH, 2026). Interim order passed after the Petitioner amended the petition (amended paragraphs 11(C) and 11(N)).

Counsel state no seats are available to admit the Petitioner. She urges parity with Mr. Pise Yash Sunil, whose cancelled admission was restored on 12 September 2025. The Court directs the Petitioner to file a further additional affidavit within two weeks clarifying the Creamy Layer Certificate submission and compliance with the six-month undertaking; Respondent Nos.1 and 2 to file affidavits within one week thereafter; matter listed for consideration on 30 March 2026.
