This writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India with following reliefs: 2 “10. Reliefs Sought: a) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondent authorities to admit the petitioner to the MBA (Public Policy & Governance) Program 2025-27 at IIM Raipur under the Unreserved/Male General category seat which fell vacant but was not offered to him despite his position at Waitlist No. 1; b) quash and set aside any admission wrongly granted to candidates lower in merit or in violation of the prescribed seat matrix; c) Direct the respondents to strictly adhere to the Chhattisgarh State reservation norms; d) Ensure transparency by directing the respondents to produce the complete master merit list and waitlist movement records before this Hon'ble Court; e) Declare the acts of the respondents as arbitrary, illegal, and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India; and f) Grant such other reliefs, including costs of this petition, as this Hon'ble Court may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that present writ petition is filed against the arbitrary and illegal action of the respondent authorities in denying admission to the petitioner in the MBA-PPG Program (2025-27) conducted by respondent/IIM Raipur under the initiative of the Government of Chhattisgarh. Petitioner is duly qualified the CAT 2022 examination and pursuant to the notification dated April 2025 and successfully appeared for the interview on 5th June 2025, petitioner was initially placed at Waiting list No.6 and later on moved upto Waiting list No.1 after subsequent rounds of admission. Despite a seat falling vacant in 3 the Unreserved/Male category due to non-acceptance by one selected candidate, the petitioner was not offered admission and was arbitrarily denied his rightful claim. Shockingly, the respondent authorities bypassed the petitioner's position on the waiting list and granted admission to candidates, who were not even in the prescribed waiting list, which is complete violation of the notified seat matrix and reservation policy. Hence, petitioner has came-up before this Court with aforesaid reliefs. 3. Learned counsels for the respective respondents opposes the submission of counsel for the petitioner and would submit that present petition is defective one, therefore, relief sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted by this Court. 4. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties and perused the writ petition. 5. Upon query to counsel for the petitioner, he replied that petitioner has filed an appeal against the reply made by the respondent/AIIM, Raipur that the Authority has denied the admission of the petitioner; appeal has already been decided, however, petitioner neither file the copy of appeal nor decision/order of appeal and he has also not challenged the order passed by the concerned Appellate Authority. 6. It is also pertinent to mention here that in this writ petition, petitioner has not made party to the Government of India or Union 4 of India. 7. In view of above discussion/observation, it apparent that present petition is defective one, therefore, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this stage. 8. Accordingly, the instant writ petition is hereby dismissed. However, petitioner will be at liberty to revive the same if cause of action arises in future. CC as per rules.
