81 & 82 IN THE HIGH COURT OF MANIPUR AT IMPHAL Review Pet No.5 of 2026 Ref: WP(C) No.652 of 2025 with Review Pet No.6 of 2026 Ref: WP(C) No.620 of 2025 State of Manipur & Anr … Petitioner -Versus- Khullem Nishant Singh & 3 Ors … Respondents BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.GUNESHWAR SHARMA 10.6.2026 Present Mr.H.Devendra, learned Addl. A.G, Manipur assisted by Ms.I.Sarmila, learned Govt counsel for the State/petitioner, Ms.Th.Babita, learned counsel for respondent No.1 and Ms.Pamchui, learned counsel for NMC. By the present two review petitions No.5 of 2026 and 6 of 2026, State/petitioners are praying for limited review of order dated 25.8.2025 passed by this Court in WP(C) No.652 of 2025 in MC (WP(C)) No.607 of 2025 and order dated 12.8.2025 passed by this Court in WP(C) No.620 of 2025 and MC (WP(C)) No.580 of 2025 whereby the writ petitioner/respondent No.1 herein was permitted to upgrade choice of seat for Management Quota. These two interim orders were passed in exigency of the matter and considering the ongoing counselling of candidates for admission to MBBS in various medical colleges in Manipur. Reason for filing review petitions, as per Mr.H.Devendra, learned Addl. A.G, is that the respondent No.1/writ petitioner, never exercised the liberty given by this Court to opt for management quota in SHRI and writ petitioner was admitted on his own in merit against State quota. In the circumstance, it is prayed that the two orders dated 12.8.2025 and 25.8.2025 may not be treated a precedent in the future. Ms.Th.Babita, learned counsel for respondent No.1/writ petitioner submits that the issue may be kept open and prayed that right of students who have already been admitted, may not be affected. Learned counsel for respondents submit that this Court may pass appropriate order in terms of relief prayed by the State petitioners. Considering contents of the review petitions and since writ petitioner did not avail the liberty granted by the Court and got admission on his own merit against State quota, it is clarified that liberty given by this Court in 12.8.2025 and 25.8.2025 shall not be a precedent in future and question of law is left open for adjudication before the appropriate form and in appropriate proceedings. With this observation, the review petitions are disposed. JUDGE Priyojit RAJKUMA R PRIYOJIT SINGH Digitally signed by RAJKUMAR PRIYOJIT SINGH Date: 2026.06.12 13:36:33 +05'30'
