The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to participate in medical counselling and secure an MBBS seat in Tamil Nadu. The single-judge bench dismissed the writ petition because the counselling for the 2020-2021 session had already concluded on 04.02.2021, rendering the prayer impossible to grant at that time.
