Writ Appeal No.1131 of 2011 .................................................................... Dated this the 4th day of August, 2011. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The appeal is filed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge declining to entertain appellant's eligibility for continuing studies in Engineering. We have heard counsel for the appellant and Standing Counsel appearing for the University. 2. Admittedly appellant has only 37 marks for Mathematics, whereas the minimum marks required for admission to B.Tech. course under the University norms is 50. We notice that in the prospectus Government had specifically stated that the minimum marks required for admission for B.Tech. course is 50. Obviously the self-financing management contrary to the University norms granted admission to the appellant who is not eligible for B.Tech. admission without the minimum marks in Mathematics. Consequently the learned Single Judge rightly rejected appellant's claim to continue in the second year studies. Since college management has violated University norms in 2 regard to admission, the appellant is free to claim damages from the management and it is for the University to consider appropriate action against the college management for admitting ineligible students contrary to University norms. We, therefore, dismiss the Writ Appeal. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge P.S.GOPINATHAN Judge pms
