Case Note & Summary
The case involved a writ appeal filed by the State of Tamil Nadu against an interim order dated 03.09.2026 in W.P.No.32349 of 2026. The first respondent, an aspirant for a medical course, applied under the Eminent Sports Persons quota, which allocated 15 seats (13 for MBBS and 2 for BDS). The State contended that the respondent's Form-2 was incomplete as it lacked a relevant certificate, leading to the denial of an MBBS seat. The respondent argued that the submitted Form-2 was sufficient and should have been considered. The court noted that these were disputed facts that required adjudication on merits. The State further claimed that all seats were filled and that the writ petition was not maintainable. However, the court found that the interim order did not impose any significant burden on the appellants and directed them to submit a report to the writ court within a week. The appeal was ultimately dismissed without costs, and the connected miscellaneous petition was closed.
