ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 28113 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is desirous of joining B.Ed. course in the 2nd respondent College which is affiliated to the first respondent University. According to the petitioner the 2nd respondent College is willing to grant her admission, provided she produces an equivalence/eligibility certificate issued in terms of clause 5.2.1.(iii) of Ext.P10 prospectus. Thereupon the petitioner submitted Ext.P5 application to the University and the University has issued Ext.P9 stating that it is the Entrance Commissioner appointed by the Government of Kerala, is the competent authority to issue the certificate. It is thereupon this writ petition has been filed. 2. Ext.P5 is the application made by the petitioner requesting the University to issue an “eligibility certificate”. According to the Standing Counsel for the W.P.(C) No. 28113 OF 2011 :2 : University, since the request for eligibility certificate the University informed the petitioner that they are not the authority to issue such a certificate and that the petitioner should approach the entrance commissioner for the said purpose. However, counsel for the petitioner submits that an Equivalency Certificate would suffice the purpose and that the Equivalency Certificate has to be issued by the University itself. Since Equivalency Certificate is what is required by the petitioner, it is the University which is the competent authority to issue the same. Therefore I dispose of the writ petition directing that it will be open to the petitioner to make an application to the first respondent, University for the issuance of an Equivalency Certificate. It is directed that once such an application is made, the University will consider the said application in the light of Ext.P7 and orders will be passed and communicated to the petitioner W.P.(C) No. 28113 OF 2011 :3 : as expeditiously as possible at any rate within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition and also the application. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/- [true copy] P.S. to Judge
