No. 1434 OF 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J The appellant approached this Court praying for a direction to the respondents to admit him to the Junior Diploma Course in Co-operation(JDC) commencing in June 2007. The respondents took the stand that the petitioner does not have the basic qualification of SSLC for admission to the JDC Course. The course cleared by him cannot be treated as equivalent to SSLC, it was contended. Upholding the contentions of the respondents, the writ petition was dismissed. 2. Appellant moved the Division Bench and this Court by interim order dated 20.06.2007, directed to admit the appellant to JDC Course, for the academic year 2007-08. But, the writ appeal was not heard in time and therefore, it so happened that the appellant have completed the course. 3. In view of the above development it is ordered that, if he was admitted for the said course pursuant to the above interim order WA No.1434/2007 -:2:- of this Court dated 20.06.07, his admission shall be treated as regular. But, it does not mean that the qualification possessed by him is equivalent to SSLC qualification. That point is kept open. Any employer, who proposes to engage him for which the qualification is SSLC and JDC, can examine whether the qualification possessed by him is equivalent to SSLC. With this clarification, the writ appeal is disposed of. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE ttb
