HON'BLE MR JUSTICE BADAR DURREZ AHMED, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE SIDDHARTH MRIDUL O R D E R 03.04.2014

Mr V.K. Gupta, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant submitted that he is aggrieved by the interim order dated 06.03.2014 passed in W.P.(C) 1497/2014 because the order that has been passed is adverse to the appellants who are all those persons who have been successful in the first draw of lots carried out pursuant to the notification dated 18.12.2013 as  LPA 237/2014  
modified by the notification dated 27.12.2013. All the appellants are those persons who have got 70 points only under the said notification in the open category on the basis of the neighbourhood criteria. He submitted that the appellant and all others who are similarly situated were successful in the draw of lots and as such they have a vested right to admission. He further submitted that this vested right had been taken away by virtue of the impugned interim order inasmuch as their selection has been cancelled and a fresh draw of lots has been ordered. He further submitted that the appellants were not even parties to the proceedings before the learned Single Judge when the above mentioned order was passed against them. Furthermore, it was submitted by him that nobody had challenged the selection process in respect of the appellants and similarly placed persons all of whom were selected only on the basis of the neighbourhood criterion having obtained 70 points only. As a consequence it was submitted by Mr V.K. Gupta that their selection ought
not to have been disturbed.
After hearing Mr Raju Ramachandran, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the Department of Education as well as Mr Nidhesh Gupta, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of respondents 1 to 12 (who were the petitioners in W.P.(C) 1497/2014) and after noting that
the learned Single Judge himself was prima facie of the view that theinter-state transfer case category was validly done away with by virtue of the notification dated 27.02.2014, as also the fact that the appellant herein and those similarly situated were not parties before the learned
Single Judge, the selection granted to the appellants and similarly situated persons ought to be confirmed. In other words, the first part of condition 3 of the notification dated 27.02.2014 would operate with full vigour. Insofar as the second part of condition 3 of the notification dated 27.02.2014 is concerned, we would defer our orders till the next date of hearing. In the meanwhile, however, all those applicants who have been selected pursuant to the draw of lots concluded till date in more than one school, should, on or before 09.04.2014, choose one school thereby vacating the seats for the other schools. In case this choice is not made on or before 09.04.2014, they shall lose their right to any admission. The Directorate of Education shall collect the data from all the schools which shall fully co-operate with the Directorate of Education. Till the next date of hearing no fresh draw of lots shall take place. The admission process in respect of those persons who have been permitted to be selected as above shall be completed and concluded. This order modifies the previous orders passed by us as also the impugned order.

Renotify on 16.04.2014.A copy of this order be given dasti under the signature of Court Master to counsel for the parties.     SIDDHARTH MRIDUL, J. APRIL 03, 2014
