TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NOs. 20987 & 20988 OF 2011 ========================== Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T Both the writ petitions have been filed by the Manager of S.E.S.College, Sreekandapuram, affiliated to Kannur University. 2. In so far as WP(C) No.20987/2011 is concerned, the petitioner applied for additional affiliation for courses such as B.Sc. Mathematics, B.Sc. Physics, B.Sc. Chemistry, B.A English, B.A. Economics and B.B.A. University considered the application of the petitioner and sought the views of the Government by its letter dated 1/3/2011. Subsequently, the petitioner submitted Ext.P4 representation to the Government enclosing letter of undertaking and draft agreement and requested to grant sanction for the increase of intake in so far as the aforesaid courses are concerned. This letter of the petitioner is dated 26/3/2011. So far the 1st respondent has not responded to the letter. 3. In so far as WP(C) No.20988/11 is concerned, the courses for which affiliation sought are B.C.A. M.C.J and M.Com. Here also the University recommended the courses for Government sanction by its letter dated 1/3/2011. Response was WPC Nos.20987 & 20988/11 :2 : not forthcoming from the Government and therefore the petitioner submitted Ext.P3 representation dated 23/6/2011 to which also no response is received. It is in these circumstances the writ petitions have been filed. 4. Evidently therefore the matter is pending before the Government and under the University laws, what is required is that the Government should convey its views to the University for the University to grant its affiliation. 5. Now that the University has recommended the case of the petitioner and sought the views of the Government, I direct that the Government shall take decision on Ext.P4 representation in WP(C) No.20987/11 and Ext.P3 representation in WP(C) No.20988/11. This the 1st respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 2 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petitions. Writ petitions are disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
