BY SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.12460 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are challenging Exts.P18, P19 and P20 by which their admission to the General Nursing and Midwifery Integrated Course has been cancelled on the ground that the petitioners did not have the minimum qualifying marks of 45% in the qualifying examinations for admission to the Course. It is not disputed before me that in the qualifying examinations, the petitioners could not secure minimum marks of 45%. It is also not disputed before me that as per the prospectus, the minimum marks required in the qualifying examinations for admission to the Course is 45%. That being so, the admission of the petitioners to the Course are clearly irregular. That irregularity cannot be remedied in any manner, in so far as the minimum marks prescribed for admission is 45% in the qualifying examinations. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
