SRI.P.SREEKUMAR, SC, KERALA UTY.HEALTH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: VK ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 34237 of 2010 D ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 24th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a self financing Nursing College affiliated to the respondent University. In this writ petition, what they seek is a direction to the respondent University to grant affiliation to the additional intake of seats to the B.Sc Nursing Programme for the academic year 2010-2011 onwards. 2. The case of the petitioner is that on the basis of Ext.P2 order of the Indian Nursing Council and Ext.P3 proceedings of the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council, prior to the constitution of the respondent University, they had made Ext.P4 application for affiliation to the M.G. University, for the academic year 2010-2011. It is stated that on the constitution of the respondent, the application stood transferred to it and that despite representations made, orders were not passed. It is on this basis, the writ petition is filed. W.P.(C) No.34237/10 : 2 : 3. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, on instructions, submits that though the petitioner would have made Ext.P4 application as stated, they had not remitted the required fee, as a result of which, Ext.P4 application for affiliation for the academic year 2010-2011 was not processed. It is also stated that subsequently, when the respondent University issued Ext.P10 notification, inviting applications for affiliation, the college made Ext.P11 application seeking affiliation for the year 2011-2012. It is also pointed out that Ext.P12 representation made by way of reminder also discloses that the request is for 2011-2012. According to the University, this application has been received and the same is being processed along with other applications received by them in response to Ext.P10 notification. Further, it is pointed out that admissions for the academic year 2010-2011 have already been closed on 30- 10-2010. 4. There is nothing on record to substantiate the W.P.(C) No.34237/10 : 3 : contention of the petitioner that Ext.P4 application was complete in all respects. If that be so, having regard to the facts submitted by the respondent, this Court cannot direct further processing of Ext.P4 application. Consequently, what is now available to be proceeded and considered by the University is Ext.P11 application made by the petitioner in response to Ext.P10 notification. The notification and the application submitted is for the academic year 2011-2012. Now that this application is admittedly pending, necessarily the University should process the application and pass orders thereon, provided the application is complete in all respects. In that view of the matter, I dispose of the writ petition directing that the University shall pass orders on Ext.P11 application made by the petitioner for the academic year 2011-2012 as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with law.
