RADHAKRISHNAN, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 30539 OF 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the strength of M.Com degree obtained from Annamalai University by correspondence course, the petitioner obtained admission to a B.Ed. College affiliated to the Calicut University. That self financing college sent up the petitioner's paper for registration for examination. The University is yet to grant registration, he participated in the examination and states that over the Internet his marks are available, showing that he has passed the examination. The University has some reservation in treating him as a person who has acquired the degree of B.Ed. though Ext.P2 appear to show that in 2007 the University had decided that the correspondence course of Calicut University in M.Com could be treated as a qualification to attain B.Ed. degree except for purposes of teaching in Colleges and Universities. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the University that following the judgment of the Apex Court in Annamali University's case there is change in this situation also. W.P.(C) No.30539/2009 2 2. However, the University is yet to answer the petitioner's request. This is primarily because, the petitioner has not made any written request to the University for release of his marks card or for granting him the degree certificate. Therefore, without expressing anything on merits and giving freedom to the petitioner to workout his remedies, this Writ Petition is ordered directing that on the petitioner producing a copy of this judgment and making appropriate application, the University will issue its decision regarding the petitioner's request for issuance of marks card and degree certificate. That will be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of such application and copy of this judgment. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge ps
