J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed mainly with the following prayer :- “Issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ order or direction directing the respondents 1 and 2 to issue concession card to the petitioner and other similarly situated students in Mahathma Gandhi Technical Institution and Alpha College of Engineering, Alappuzha.” It is submitted that the institution is conducting only recognised courses. If that be so, there is no point in denying concession to the students. There will be a direction to the first respondent to look into the grievance of the students with notice to the Principal of the Institution and the third respondent, and take appropriate action in accordance with law within three months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs
