PRAMOD SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS, SC, MCI FOR R4 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/07/2008, ALONG WITH WPC NO. 22137 OF 2008 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------ W.P.(C)Nos.20701 & 22137 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT In W.P.(C) No.20701/08, the petitioner is an aspirant for admission to the Super Specialty Post-graduate Course in D.M. Nephrology in Kerala this year. His grievance in this writ petition is that the persons, who do not have the minimum qualification from the service quota, are being considered for admission overlooking the claims of general merit candidates to which category the petitioner belongs and has been included in the rank list. 2. In W.P.(C) No.22137/08 a service candidate comes up with the claim that he has all the minimum qualifications and length of service and in spite of the same, his claim for admission is not being considered. 3. It is admitted before me that the claim of the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.22137/08 for admission in the service quota has been accepted. That being so, the remedy of the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.20701/08 lies in challenging the W.P.(c)No.20701/08 2 allotment given to the petitioner in the other writ petition, on the ground that he does not have the requisite service qualification, if he has a sustainable case in that regard. Therefore, without prejudice to that right, these writ petitions are closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
