Dated this the 24th March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has approached this court with the following prayers: “ i. to issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ or order directing the second respondent to issue the Marks card and Certificate to the petitioner showing the name of the course as “Mechanical with specialization in Industrial Engineering and Management”. 2. to issue a writ of Mandamus or any other writ or order directing the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P5 at the earliest. 3. To issue such other writ or orders as this Hon'ble court may deem fit and proper for the ends of justice. “ 2. The grievance of the petitioner appears to be that the name of the particular course undergone by the petitioner has been decided to be changed by the University by deleting the word 'Mechanical', which allegedly is to place some embargo as to the career prospectus of the petitioner and hence sought to be remedied. W.P.(C) No. 8266 OF 2011 2 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is given to the University to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext. P5 representation submitted in this regard. 4. Heard the learned Standing counsel appearing for the University as well. The learned Standing Counsel for the University submits that due regard will be given to the apprehension expressed from the part of the petitioner, however stating that appropriate orders will be passed within the shortest possible time This Court does not intend to express anything with regard to the alleged apprehension of the petitioner in view of the limited nature of the relief sought for. In the said circumstance, the writ petition is disposed of directing the University to pass final orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible. P.R.
