    The court dismissed the writ petition filed by Purbayan Ghosh challenging his non-admission to a university's sports quota. Although the petitioner was a swimmer and worthy athlete, his certificates from sports meets organized by individual bodies (DAV College, CBSE Games) did not meet the university's eligibility criteria requiring participation in National Championships conducted by federations recognized by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports or the Indian Olympic Association. The court upheld the university's selection criteria and declined to relax it for the individual petitioner, noting that doing so would create administrative disruption.
