Sports Quota Admissions

Admission criteria announced in a prospectus guide candidates
A post-deadline change can prejudice candidates who relied on published rules
Admission authorities must act transparently and predictably
Legitimate expectation may arise from published admission conditions
A policy change must be made fairly and with due regard to affected candidates
Internal notings cannot replace a fair, communicated decision
Pandemic-era relaxation does not automatically justify indefinite continuation
Merit under a quota must follow the applicable notified framework
Relief for a later admission session requires necessary parties
Courts should independently examine challenges rather than mechanically follow precedent
