1. The present Writ Petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondents to consider and include the name of the
MB,J & RY,J WP_33802_2026 petitioner for admission to the PG Dental Course i.e., MDS Dental Courses under Management Quota MQ-2/NRI Quota seats for the academic year 2026-27.
2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent No.2 has placed an order dated 23.09.2026 passed by a Co- ordinate Bench in W.P. No.31793 of 2026, whereby the Co- ordinate Bench disposed of the Writ Petition by directing the University to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 20.09.2026, in accordance with law and the grounds raised therein, and pass a reasoned order before the next date of counselling.
3. The facts of the present Writ Petition are similar to those in W.P.No.31793 of 2026 decided by the Co-ordinate Bench.

4. Considering the identical facts involved in both the matters, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the present Writ Petition by
