GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2008, ALONG WITH W.P.(C). NO. 27048 OF 2008 AND W.P.(C). NO.27597 OF 2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Rs/ V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) Nos.27047, 27597 and 27048 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 25th September, 2008 J U D G M E N T Common contentions have been taken up in these writ petitions and therefore they have been heard together and disposed of by a common judgment. 2. Essentially the issue is covered in favour of the petitioners by earlier orders and judgments of this Court including Exhibits P5 and P6 in WP(C) No.27047 of 2008. In the circumstances, the facts in WP(C) No.27047 of 2008 is taken as the leading case for convenience. 3. Petitioner is the Manager of the Teachers Training Institute at Cherpu in Thrissur District. It is a Self Financing TTI which has been granted recognition by the NCTE, as evidenced by Exhibit P1. Second respondent by Exhibit P2 invited applications for admission to the Self Financing TTC Course in the State. 50% of seats are allotted to the Management and balance 50% are allotted to merit quota (Government quota). Management seats have already been filled up by the petitioner, according to him. But complete allotment to W.P ( C) Nos.27047, 27597 and 27048 of 2008 2 the merit seats are yet to be made by the second respondent. Therefore, the institution is not in a position to go ahead with the classes with full strength. 4. In identical situations this court considered the same issue and that the competent authority is bound to fill up the seats in the Government quota without delay. The said judgments have apparently become final, I do not find any reason to take a different view in these writ petitions. 5. In the result, the concerned Deputy Director of Education in each of these writ petitions shall allot students to the Government quota in each one of the institutions for the TTC Course, as early as possible, latest by 15.10.2008. If the concerned Deputy Director is unable to allot students, petitioners will be free to effect admission in these institutions in the merit quota, to the seats which are still remaining unfilled on 15.10.2008. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) Nos.27047, 27597 and 27048 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) Nos.27047, 27597 and 27048 of 2008 4
