STATE OF KERALA-REPRESENTED BY CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. I.V. PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/04/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ====================================== WRIT PETITION NO.6442 OF 2008 ====================================== Dated this the 10th day of April 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who is scheduled caste candidate, aspires for admission to Post Graduate Dental Course. Ext.P1 is the prospectus and Clause-v of the prospectus shows the distribution of seats, of which the two are earmarked to be filled up from among candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe. Petitioner aspires for admission to Ortho Dontics and Conservative Dentists. According to him, this year, by way of rotation, these two subjects ought to have been earmarked to be filled up from among the candidates belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. It is on that basis the writ petition has been filed. 2. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner submit that since the actual allotment is not already over, the petitioner should be given the freedom to move the concerned authority by filing appropriate representation in this matter. However, what I notice from the statement filed by the Government Pleader is that prospectus has been issued by the respondents on 20.11.2007 and as per the prospectus one seat for MDS in Prosthodontics and one seat in Oral Pathology and Micro Biology each are set apart for SC/ST candidates. It is also stated that based on the prospectus, selection has been held and the results were declared on 23.1.2008. 3. Thus the selection having progressed based on the prospectus published as early as in 20.11.2007, this Court will not be justified in doing anything having the effect of upsetting the allotment and earmarking of subjects to various categories which the respondents have done. This is all the more for the reason that it is much later to all the above that the writ petition was even filed. The writ petition fails and it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE css/
