W.P.(C) No.31027 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 6th day of December, 2006. JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner, Government Pleader and counsel for second respondent-College. It is submitted by second respondent that three seats in the merit quota are lying vacant in the first year BAMS course in that college. Government Pleader submitted that last date for allotment was 30.11.2006 and thereafter admissions are not given. Since the course has just commenced and it is a four year course, I do not think it is in public interest to allow the seats to go waste. The first respondent is therefore directed to verify the merit list and if no other claimant is there above the petitioner, the seat will be allotted to the petitioner. However, if any person higher in rank has opted for admission in the said college, then allotment should be given to such person. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
