2. When the captioned petition was earlier listed before this Court on 03.07.2012, it was extensively heard and the Court had passed the following order;
"Rule returnable on 15.10.2012.
In the meantime, the impugned orders passed by the respondent- University are stayed only qua 20 per cent of the total Management Seats.
It is, however, made clear that if any Management Seat/s is/are already allotted during the admission process, then such number of Seat/s shall be deleted and for that purpose, the respondent- University shall file appropriate Civil Application for modification of this order. Direct service permitted."
3. By the aforesaid order, the impugned communications were stayed only qua 20 per cent of the total Management Seats. In pursuance of the aforesaid order dated 03.07.2012, it is clarified that the students named in the document annexed as Annexure-II to the main petition, at page-37, from Sr. No.01 to 14, totaling 14 starting with the name of "Rathod Bhanumati Ishwarlal", shall appear in the examination, which is to commence tomorrow, i.e. on 10.07.2012.
