IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC THURSDAY, THE 10TH JANUARY 2008 / 20TH POUSHA 1929 WP(C).No. 33298 of 2007(L) -------------------------- PETITIONER: -------------- KHADEEJA K.,W/O.K.BASHEER "KAVUNGAL HOUSE" P.O. MAKKARAPARAMBA, MALAPPURAM. BY ADV. SRI.R.RAJESH KORMATH RESPONDENTS: ---------------- 1. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT REPRESENTED BY THE REGISTRAR UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. CALICUT UNIVERSITY P.O., KOZHIKODE. 2. THE REGISTRAR UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. CALICUT UNIVERSITY P.O., KOZHIKODE. BY ADV. SRI.P.C.SASIDHARAN, SC, CALICUT UTY. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 33298 OF 2007 L ===================== Dated this the 10th day of January, 2008 J U D G M E N T The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to issue the petitioner an equivalency certificate to the effect that the course M.A Degree in M.A.Post Afzal-ul-ulama undergone by the petitioner is equivalent to M.A Degree (Post Afzal-ul-ulama) in Arabic. The petitioner submits that though he had made such a request, the same was turned down by Ext.P4. 2. From the submissions made during the course of the hearing, I notice that what the petitioner wants is a certificate from the University that the MA Degree that the petitioner has obtained by Ext.P2 should be certified as one equivalent to MA Degree (Post Afzal-ul-ulama) in Arabic mentioned in Ext.P4. 3. A reading of Ext.P6 shows that the request of the petitioner has been considered by the University and what is WPC 33298/07 :2 : declined by the University was to treat the degree of the petitioner to be one equivalent to MA Arabic Degree. 4. Standing counsel for the University referring to the counter affidavit makes it clear that the application made by the petitioner to the University was to issue a certificate of equivalency of his degree with that of MA Arabic Degree. It is submitted that MA Arabic Degree is a totally different one than the one mentioned in Ext.P4. 5. Therefore the whole confusion seems to have arisen out of the misunderstanding that the petitioner was entertaining. It is made clear by the University that if a fresh proper application is made by the petitioner for the certificate to the effect that the degree mentioned in Ext.P2 is equivalent to the one mentioned in Ext.P4, that will be suitably considered. In view of the above, directing that it will be open to the petitioner to make an application to the University for an equivalency certificate as stated by the University, this writ petition is disposed of.
