Mechanical Engineering Course. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the University submits that for this year the admission process is already in motion and therefore, the claim of the petitioner cannot be considered. But he would submit that in view of the request from the Government in this regard, the University has decided to place this issue before the Academic Council for consideration for the next year. He further submits that a decision would be taken on the question after getting the decision of the Academic Council in the matter. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed.
