SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.23773 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a person, who aspired to get admission to M.Sc Nursing Course. One of the eligibility conditions was a registration from the Nursing Council. The 4th respondent did not issue the registration certificate to the petitioner. On 6.8.2008, I passed the following interim order: “ xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx The learned Standing Counsel submits that the petitioner has applied for registration with the Kerala Nurses' and Midwives' Council as per Exts.P3 and P4 on the basis of the registration obtained by the petitioner from the Karnataka State Nursing Council. The processing of the application took considerable time and not the Karnataka State Nursing Council has confirmed that the petitioner is registered with them. Still to take further steps in the matter, it would take some more time and therefore, a provisional certificate dated 6.8.2008 has been issued to the petitioner for the purpose of production before the 2 nd respondent for admission to the M.Sc Nursing Course. Accordingly, I direct the 2 nd respondent to accept the said certificate when produced before the 2 nd respondent and consider the same as a valid certificate for the purpose of granting admission to the petitioner. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the order along with a copy of the writ petition before the 2 nd respondent”. W.P.(c)No.23773/08 2 Both parties agree that in view of the interim order, no further orders are necessary in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed in terms of the interim order. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
