UPSEAT 2006-07: HC sets aside interim order

Allahabad, Oct 13 (UNI) The Allahabad High Court today set aside an interim order passed by a single judge bench whereby a direction was issued for filling up remaining seats of UPSEAT for the 2006-07 session through counselling.

Even thereafter if seats remained vacant, the single judge had permitted the private engineering colleges to fill up the same on the basis of qualifying examinations 10+2.

Justices B S Chauhan and Dilip Gupta passed this order on a special appeal filed by Welfare Association of Self Financed Institutes, Noida.

The court, however, turned down the request of the institutes to permit them to fill up the vacant seats on merit.

Meanwhile, the court has requested the single judge to decide the writ petition within three weeks.
