He also prays for granting him the benefit of Ext.P5 and for a direction to extend the time for production of the certificate. 2. The pleadings in the writ petition do not show that the petitioner had made any application either before the first or the second respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner has no contention to the contrary. He simply apprehends that the application which has not been filed, will not be allowed. Unless the petitioner files an application, the question of granting the reliefs prayed for, does not arise. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to apply for the certificate, and thereafter to seek remedies, if need be, this writ petition is disposed of. K.K.DENESAN, JUDGE W.P.(C)No. :2: css/
