TO JUDGE tss T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.1119 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an applicant for admission to PG Medical Course. He has approached this Court stating various contentions. The main prayer in the writ petition for declaration that limitation of weightage in marks for the qualifying examinations for the Post Graduate courses in medicine under Ext.P4 Prospectus to those who have completed difficult rural service alone as arbitrary. 2. It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the matter is now covered by an interim order passed by the Division Bench dated 25/3/2010, after vacating the interim order. It is made clear therein that while granting weightage in the general merit quota, those persons who are actually in service alone shall be given weightage. In other words, those who have served or are serving under bonded obligation or those who have served for some time and are not presently in service for some reason or other, will not be entitled to get weightage. The said direction will govern this case also. 3. Therefore what remains is the plea for the declaration of his result as now the result is shown as withheld. W.P.(C)No.1119 of 2010 2 4. It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the exercise as directed by the Division Bench is expected to be completed within a short time and along with the same the petitioner's result will be announced. 5. There will be a direction to the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations to publish the results of the petitioner expeditiously as possible at any rate within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE skj
