SMITHA, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------- WP(C) No. 23910 of 2006 ------------------------- Dated, this the 9th day of February, 2007 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed for a direction to the Government to grant sanction to the petitioner to commence B.Tech course in Applied Electronics and Instrumentation during the year 2006-07. The petitioner has obtained NOC from the University and got recognition from AICTE for commencement of the course. University subsequently granted affiliation to the new course and petitioner has admitted first batch students pursuant to interim orders of this Court dated 13/09/2006. Government pursuant to interim order allotted 50% students from merit quota. While so, the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations has approved the prospectus for next year admission, including this course also. Government by this context has virtually granted sanction for commencement of this course on a regular basis. In the circumstance, I do not think any further sanction is required for continuing the course. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed declaring the above position.
