(1.) The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus seeking a direction to respondent to reschedule the second round of counselling for admission to the Post Graduate Courses and to give petitioner admission in the subject of Nuclear Medicine in the reserved category.
(2.) The petitioner appeared for admission to AIIMS-PG/Post Doctoral Courses. The petitioner was ranked 125th in overall merit list and was ranked 25 in OBC category. The petitioner was called for first round of counselling on 11th June, 2009. On that date the OBC list had been exhausted and the petitioner did not get any Post Graduate Course, however, he was given option for the general category and petitioner opted for the General category and he was offered course in Anatomy which petitioner accepted provisionally.
(3.) The petitioner has contended that since OBC list had been exhausted on 11th June, 2009, he was erroneously called upon by the Counselling committee to opt for General Category and because he was orally assured that his case in OBC category will not be affected and he would be entitled to appear for OBC category in the second counselling also, he innocently opted for General Category.
