by Aggarwal, who had allegedthat the AIIMS authorities hadfailed to follow the existingprocedure and changed theprospectus just ahead of thecounseling date in June 2010.On that ground he was not al-lowed to get admission in MS(surgery) despite holding179th rank in the merit list.

Chief Justice Dipak Misraand Justice Sanjeev Khannasaid, "The AIIMS authorities

will have to allot a seat toVarun Aggarwal in PG coursein the general category eitherin surgery, gynecology or or-thopedics in the next academicsession in July 2011."

The court said, "TheAIIMS may have been con-ferred with the privilege of in-stitutional preference, but thatwould not enable it to changethe prospectus in the mannerit has been done. Thus, theaction of the AIIMS on thisscore is vitiated and we can-

Court asks AIIMS to admit doctor to master's coursenot give a stamp of approvalto the action of the institu-tion."

"The hopes and aspira-tions of the students, whocame within the zone of merit,cannot be scuttled by chang-ing the prospectus by way ofintroducing a corrigendum. Byissuing a corrigendum, the sce-nario of results changed be-cause further results were pub-lished and more candidateswere called," the court ob-served.
