Ed. (Non-medical) course on 03.06.2009. Last date for submission of the forms was 15th July, 2009. Petitioner is ward of Ex-serviceman. The grievance of the petitioner, in a nut-shell, is that respondent-University has not provided any reservation for the wards of Ex-servicemen. Petitioner approached this Court for the redressal of his grievance by way of C.W.P. No. 3622 of 2009. He was permitted to make a representation to the Vice-Chancellor of the respondent-University on 25th May, 2010. The representation 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?. No. - 2 - made by the petitioner was rejected by the Vice-Chancellor on 21.06.2010. 2. It is evident from the reply filed by the respondent- University that as per the Ordinances of the respondent- University, no reservation has been provided by the University for the wards of Ex-servicemen. This Court cannot direct the respondent-University to make reservation for the wards of Ex- servicemen. 3. Accordingly, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed, so also the pending application(s), if any. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge December 19, 2011. (bhupender) - 3 - `
