PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/06/2008 A/W.WP(C).NO.19379/08 & ANOR. THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NOs.19358,19379,19380/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT These writ petitions are filed by the parents of children who are students of the School, of which the 2nd petitioner is the Secretary. It is stated that, the students in question are eligible for the benefit under the Prime Ministers Scholarship for Tsunami Affected Children. According to the petitioners, although they had furnished the details for getting the students included in the list of eligible students, when the list was published their names have been excluded. It is complaining of their exclusion, the second petitioner in these cases have filed Ext.P4 representations before the 3rd respondent. Petitioners complain that the 3rd respondent has not passed orders on Ext.P4 representations submitted as above and in the writ petition what is sought 2 for is an order requiring the 3rd respondent to pass orders on the representations thus made by them. Having regard to the facts as stated above, I see no justification to decline the relief sought for. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of as follows; The 3rd respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P4 representations filed by the petitioner if the same has been received and are pending. Orders shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. It is clarified that this court has not pronounced on the merits of the claim raised by the petitioners and it is entirely for the 3rd respondent to consider the matter and pass orders as above.
