Advocate Sriram Pingale, who is representing the Maratha students in the Supreme Court, said he has advised the petitioners to file a review petition for the May 9 verdict that struck down the 16% reservation on PG seats this year. The applicants from the NT, OBC, SC and open category, on the other hand, questioned the move. Dr. Angad Randive, an open category applicant, said the extension will further delay commencement of the academic year which usually starts by the first week of June. State Minister for medical education and water resources, Girish Mahajan, told The Hindu, “Some students have already moved the SC for a review. The students’ immediate problem was that they wanted an extension, as the last date for form filling was May 13.
