CWP(T) No. 4204/08 (OA 384/97) 27.3.2009 Present: Mr. Rajinder Thakur, vice Mr. Tarlok Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Dy. A.G. for respondents No. 1 and 2. None for respondent No. 3. The petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs: “i) That the respondents by writ, order or direction be directed to start the aforesaid course immediately; ii) That call for the records for the perusal of this Hon’ble Court; iii) That applicant be compensated for loss of studies incurred by her due to the non starting of the course. iv) Allow costs of this petition in favour of the applicant and against the respondents. v) Pass any orders which this Hon’ble Court deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case and justice be done.” The State issued an advertisement in Him Lok Sampark calling upon candidates to apply for ‘Admission for B.Sc. Nursing Degree Course in Indus Hospital, Mount Jakhu, Shimla’. Indus Hospital is a private institute. Such of those persons who had applied were considered and finally eighteen names, including that of the petitioner, were selected which is evident from memorandum dated 17.1.1995 (Annexure A-4). Record shows that the State Government had also accorded -2- approval for setting up of the B.Sc. Nursing degree course which is evident from letter dated 21.12.1994 (Annexure R-1), but however the said private institute chose not to go ahead with the course as the grant in aid was not sanctioned by the Government. For the aforesaid reasons the course could not commence. The petitioner has got no legally enforceably right for seeking direction that the private institute be directed to commence with the course. The advertisement was for the course which was to commence for the session 1994. With the passage of time the petition itself has become infructuous and no relief can be granted. For the aforesaid reasons the present petition is dismissed. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. March 27, 2009 (PK)
