(Oral) The petitioners are desirous of getting training afresh before appearing for J.B.T. examination. As far as the appearance in the J.B.T. examination is concerned the respondents have no objection. In fact they have permitted them to straightaway appear in the examination since according to the Government they have been trained once. But according to the petitioners the training was almost eight years back and before fresh training they cannot appear in the examination. It is further submitted that the training they had in the year 2003, was incomplete. According to the 2 petitioners in many of DIET Centres where the J.B.T. courses have started in April, 2011, there are still vacant seats available. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- In case there are vacant seats in any of the DIET Centres where the J.B.T. courses commenced in April, 2011, the petitioners shall be admitted to the course. Needless to say it will be at the expense of the petitioners. On completion of the course they shall also be permitted to appear in the examination along with others. 2. With the above observations, writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Sanjay Karol), Judge.
