ORDER
According to the contents of this writ petition, the petitioner filed a form for seeking admission to the Electrical Engineering Course of the respondent-University on self-finance basis and paid all the requisite charges. He took the entry test and obtained 67.659% marks. The grievance being made out is that although he had expressed his preference for category of a seat reserved for candidates having passed their Intermediate Examination, inter alia, from BISE, Multan, his form was not considered and admission was not granted.
2. This case came up on 11-2-2005 when the learned counsel stated that his client had filed two admission forms. One against a Special Admission Charges Seat in S-category and one in Open Merit against a B-Category Seat. A notice was accordingly issued to the respondents to file a reply.
3. Mr. M. Tariq Rajwana, Advocate, has put in appearance for the respondent-University. A reply has been filed along with the copies of the relevant forms. Both the original forms have also been produced for inspection and have been inspected. I find that in one such form, the preference was given for a category-S Seat. This form also mentions of the Special Admission Charges and that Rs.2,50,000 have been deposited by means of a Bank Draft, detail given in the form. The other form is titled as general application form and therein the first preference has C been given to the course Electrical and the category mentioned as B.S. To my mind the forms do not at all disclose that the petitioner had given preference for a category `B' Seat in any of the said forms. If at all it is to be assumed that by writing B.S., the petitioner meant a category B Seat then it is with reference to open merit, nothing turns on the same. I may note here that writ petition has been filed with reference to judgment dated 4-2-2005 passed by me in Writ Petition No.6866 of 2004. Now the facts of the said case were that whereas the petitioner in the said case stated that he had duly opted for a B-Category Seat against Special Admission Charges, he has not been considered. The respondent-University had denied this. However, with reference to its own record it was found that the said petitioner had, in fact, opted for a B-Category Seat as first preference and consequently orders were passed. The facts of the said case have no nexus with those of the present case. The writ petition accordingly is dismissed. The original forms be returned to the learned counsel for the respondent-University.
H.B.T./M-1041/L Petition dismissed.
