Summary: A student named Anjali Mehta, who missed her chance to register for medical school due to illness, is given a second chance by the court to ask the university for admission.

Anjali Missed Deadline Due to Illness

Anjali Mehta, with the help of her lawyer Mr. K. Vishnu Kanth, missed the registration deadline for medical courses because she was sick. Once she got better, she tried to register, but the university wouldn't let her.

University Rules and Regulations

The university, represented by Mr. T. Sharath, explained that their rules clearly say if a student doesn't register in the first round, they can't register later. This is to make sure seats aren't held up unfairly. Since Anjali didn't register at first, she wasn't allowed to try again in the next round.

"The instructions to the students specify that those who don't choose options in the first round can't do so later."

Court's Decision: A Chance to Appeal

The court, led by Chief Justice Sri Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, decided that Anjali Mehta can ask the university to reconsider. If she submits her request, the university must review it within two days.

What Happens Next?

If the university allows her to register, Anjali's case will be looked at for any open seats in the final round. The court hasn't decided if her case is strong yet, just given her a chance to ask again.

"The student is allowed to make a request... the University would consider it according to the rules."

Summary of Verdict

The court's decision gives Anjali another opportunity, allowing her to possibly get a seat in the medical program despite missing the first deadline because she was sick.
