IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC THURSDAY, THE 10TH JANUARY 2008 / 20TH POUSHA 1929 W.P(C).No. 1184 of 2008(N) --------------------------------- PETITIONER: -------------- NANDAGOPAL C., S/O. MADHAVA MENON, 'KRISHNA VIHAR', POST VETTOM, TIRUR, MALAPPURAM DISTRICT. BY ADV.

SASIDHARAN.P, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 1184 OF 2008 - N = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 10th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext. P7. Petitioner had applied for an equivalency certificate from the respondent University to the effect that the M.Ed. Degree obtained by the petitioner from Annamalai University is equivalent to the M.Ed degree of Calicut University. In response to the said application the University has issued Ext. P7 calling upon the petitioner to produce a certificate from the Annamalai University stating that the petitioner was admitted for M.Ed. Course as a regular student within the sanctioned strength as approved by the NCTE in the respective academic year along with a copy of the NCTE approval order for the concerned academic year. It is challenging Ext. P7 that this writ petition has been filed, mainly relying on Ext. P4, the recognition granted by the Kerala University for the same course that the petitioner has undergone. It is contended that the details called for in Ext. P7 are unnecessary. I cannot accept the submission made by WPC No. 1184/08 - 2 - the counsel for the petitioner. Even if it is accepted that the M.Ed. Degree of Annamalai University has been recognized by the Kerala University that does not by itself mean that the Calicut University is bound by such recognition. The University on the other hand has only asked for a certificate regarding the admission that was secured by the petitioner and that requirement of the University cannot at any rate be satisfied with Ext. P4 certificate. I do not find any merit in the writ petition. The writ petition is only to be dismissed. I do so. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
