THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.16035 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of MAY, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a minor represented by his father and guardian. He obtained an admission to T.T.C. Course in the 4th respondent's institution. He completed one year of studies. When he was about to write the first year examination, he was told that his admission itself was irregular, in so far as at the time of admission he did not attain the minimum age prescribed for such admission. The petitioner submits that the petitioner did not suppress any fact before the authorities in respect of the admission and therefore, he cannot be penalised for the mistake committed by the fourth respondent in admitting the petitioner. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioner to sit for the examination. But, he now confines his relief for a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader W.P.(C)No.16035/2010 2 appearing for respondents 1 to 3 also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner may approach the first respondent for interim orders regarding writing of the examination provisionally, which shall be considered by the first respondent within one week from the date when the petitioner moves the first respondent.
