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.

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. ..................J.
