However, noting that the candidate resigned from the seat after his position remained unchanged in the second round of counseling because of the subsequent changes in the institute's prospectus, the top court bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Vishwanathan observed, "We find that the present case is not the one wherein the entire blame would be on the appellant. The appellant has unfortunately acted on the representation made to him in the original prospectus. The later amendment to it has created confusion."
