Counsels, as above, accept notice on behalf of the respective Respondents.

¶22

Learned counsels for the Respondents submit that the present petition whereby Petitioner seeks increase of 50 MBBS seats for Academic Session 2025-2026 is rendered infructuous since even the NEET-UG stray round of counselling announced vide notification dated 11.11.2025, whereby students were to submit their choices of institutes by 16.11.2025 (11:45 PM) has ended and therefore, case of the Petitioner cannot be considered for the current academic year.
