During the hearing, the top court had told JOSAA counsel to find a way to resolve the matter. Citing the excellent track record of the boy, the bench said the court would not come to aid of a candidate, who is not deserving.The bench ordered a seat should be allocated to the boy without disturbing the admission of any other student, and the creation of this seat will be subject to admission being regularised if (any other) seat falls vacant.The student got a seat allocated at IIT-Bombay in the civil engineering branch on October 27. The petitioner had logged into the JOSAA website on October 29 and uploaded the requisite documents, but he fell short of money to pay the seat acceptance fee. His sister transferred the money to him on October 30 and he again tried to make payment several times, but failed. The student’s counsel had informed the bench that he failed to submit the fee due to technical glitches.
