W.P. (C) Nos. 357 of 2018, 361/2018, 366/2018 and 424/2018

By our order dated 03.05.2018, we held

that after the completion of second round of

counselling for All India Quota, the

unfilled seats will be made over to the

States. We have also observed that the

States and the deemed/Central Institutions

shall conduct the second round of

counselling after reversion of the unfilled

seats in the second round of the All India Quota.

By mistake, we directed the

deemed/Central institutions shall also

conduct the 2nd round of counselling. There

is no reversion of seats to the

deemed/Central institutions. The words “and

deemed/Central Institutions” in para 9 of

order dated 03.05.2018 stand deleted. The

direction to conduct 2nd round of counselling

is restricted to the States and not to the

deemed/Central institutions.

68990/2018)

The applications for directions are dismissed.

By our order dated 03.05.2018, we directed

that the Second round of counselling of the

State quota shall be completed by

10.05.2018. The State of Madhya Pradesh has

filed an application for impleadment in the

above Writ Petition and for directions to extend time for completion of second round

of State counselling.

Mr. Purushendra Kaurav, learned

Advocate General submits that in spite of

their best efforts the State is not in a

position to complete the counselling by

10.05.2018. He further submits that there

are 415 unfilled seats. In view of the

peculiar circumstances, we extend the time

for completion of second round of State

Counselling in Madhya Pradesh till

15.05.2018 and the mop-up round till

19.05.2018. Applications stand

disposed of accordingly.
