Nagpur : Bombay high court on Thursday came to the rescue of a postgraduate medical aspirant who was denied participation in counselling for admission to AIIMS Kalyani in Bengal for not reporting on time due to a missed flight last year.Terming the case ‘exceptional’, HC’s Nagpur bench of justices Nitin Sambre and Vrushali Joshi directed AIIMS authorities to allow 27-yearold petitioner Kalyani Chakrawar to participate in the ongoing admission process. Chakrawar, with an all-India rank of 119, was allotted a seat in general medicine at AIIMS Kalyani. She was required to complete admission formalities by 5pm on Dec 24. However, she missed her scheduled 7.30am flight from Nagpur to Kolkata, failing to report in time.
After AIIMS refused to consider her requests to allow her to take part in the second round of counselling, she moved HC, challenging the stringent counselling rules. Despite Christmas vacation, HC prioritised the case and held an emergency hearing on Dec 31, asking AIIMS authorities to file a response. After reviewing arguments from both sides, the court ruled in her favour, allowing her to join the second round of admissions.
