JUDGMENT
(Judgment of the Court was delivered by NOOTY.RAMAMOHANA RAO.J.)
This appeal is directed against the order passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P(MD)No.10783 of 2010. The learned Single Judge directed the second respondent to reconsider the rank of the writ petitioner and allot a seat in the first year M.B.B.S. Course in any of the Government Medical Colleges or in the SelfFinancing Colleges for the academic year 2010-2011, for the petitioner alone, provided the petitioner comes within the zone of consideration. Firstly, the admissions for the academic year 20102011 are required to be closed latest by 30.09.2010, pursuant to the directions issued by the Honourable Supreme Court with a view to prevent dragging on the admission process without any foreseeable end. Further, it appears that the writ petitioner secured 190.75 Cut-off marks with his General Rank being 3628A and Community Rank being 2270A. It appears, the last candidate granted admission in Government Medical Colleges secured 197.25 marks and the General Rank is 1255 and the last candidate who has been granted admission in Self-Financing Medical Colleges was with 195.75 marks and the General Rank is 2628 which is nearly a thousand ranks above that of the writ petitioner.
3
petitioner herself did not fall within the proximate closeness of a rank which can fetch admission in the Medical College. Accordingly, this writ appeal stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, the connected civil miscellaneous petition is closed.
