Naveen Kumar.S v. the Secretary National Medical Commission
Case brief
What is this about?
NEET-PG category-correction writ refused; OBC candidate's self-entered 'General Category' error in on-line application (Appl. ID PG24246192); mandamus sought against Directorate General of Health Services / Medical Counselling Committee, with National Medical Commission as first respondent; maintainability denied where the mistake is the applicant's own; dismissed, no costs. Bench: VIVEK KUMAR SINGH, J (single judge). Statute: Article 226, Constitution of India. No precedents cited. Useful for: petitions seeking category correction in NEET/examination applications; courts assessing maintainability where the error originates from the applicant.
What did the court decide?
Since the on-line application was made only by the petitioner himself, the writ petition cannot be maintained as a matter of right; the Court found no merits in the matter.
