(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the petitioner further submitted that two seats for v Anaesthesiology subject came after the Counselling held on 14. 5. 2007 therefore, the fresh procedure for calling to the candidates for the said seats should be adopted and it should not be considered to be the part of the earlier Counselling held on 14. 5. 2007 for the seats available on the said date. He submitted that the consent of the petitioner, namely not interested on 14. 5. 2007 was confine to the seats available at the time of Counselling because the petitioner was not inter ested in any other subject other than Anaesthesiology and two seats available for the said subject had already been filled by the candidates of a higher rank and not for all time to dome in future. If the two seats of Anaesthesiology would have been available on 14. 5. 2007 the petitioner would have opted and be selected also for the said subject. Therefore, the consent not interested was only confined to the Counselling held on 14. 5. 2007 and will hot amount to waiver of his right to partici pate in the Counselling held in respect of seats created/provided in future.
