TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 17789 OF 2011 (W) ===================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner, by Ext.P6, he was granted admission to B.Tech under the lateral entry scheme. It is stated that however, despite the allotment by Ext.P6, he was denied admission on the ground that Exts.P1 and P2 diploma secured by the petitioner is not recognised by the Universities in Kerala. On the other hand, petitioner submits that by Ext.P3, the diploma obtained by him has been recognised by the Government of Kerala for recruitment through Public Service Commission and that by Ext.P4 the University of Calicut has recognised the diploma. Producing Exts.P3 and P4, petitioner filed Ext.P7 representation before the 2nd respondent and even on the representation, orders have not been passed. This led the petitioner to file this writ petition. 2. The question as to whether the diploma secured by the petitioner which is recognized by the Calicut University would suffice for admission for Engineering under the lateral entry scheme is a matter for the 2nd respondent to consider. Now that WPC No. 17789/11 :2 : the petitioner has taken up the issue before the 2nd respondent by filing Ext.P7 producing Exts.P3 and P4, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the representation if such a representation has been received and is pending. This the 2nd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 10 days of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
