25.7.2008 Present: Mr. Shrawan Dogra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. B. C. Negi, Advocate, for the respondent. CWP No. 1214 /2008 It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there are 690 seats in various Colleges in the State of Himachal Pradesh for three years course, 320 seats for five years course and against 690 seats only 366 students qualified the examination and 276 turned up for counselling and for five years degree course against 320 seats, 120 students qualified and 78 turned up for counselling. Accordingly, a number of seats are vacant. Taking thread from the last year action of the University, wherein the University permitted the students to be admitted by an order dated 7.8.2007 on the basis of their academic merit, representations were moved by the petitioner to the Vice Chancellor contained in Annexures P-5/1 to P-5/4. The interest of justice would suffice, if the Vice Chancellor shall take a decision on merits of the representation within ten days from today. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application. Copy dasti. ( Jagdish Bhalla ), CJ. ( Sanjay Karol ), J. July 25, 2008 (rana)
