W.P.(C).24756/2009 ....................... Dated this the 4th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner's son was given admission for the B.Tech Degree course in College of Engineering, Thalassery, on allotment made by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. Later he got admission in the College of Engineering, Perumon, run by the very same educational agency, namely the Co-operative Academy of Professional Education. Both these institutions are recognized by the Cochin University of Science and Technology. After joining the College of Engineering, Perumon he sought for refund of the fee initially paid by him in College of Engineering, Thalassery. When the fee was not refunded, this writ petition was filed seeking a direction to the second respondent to refund the fee paid by the petitioner in the first College. 2.

In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to refund to the petitioner, the amount covered by Ext.P1 receipt, after withholding 10% of the total amount covered by the said receipt. Such payment shall be made on or before 30.11.2009. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge mrcs
