By the aforesaid judgment, this court had directed the 1st respondent in these cases to consider whether it is necessary to request the NCTE to relax the eligibility criteria of 50% marks set by them. 2. It is now revealed that in implementation of the said direction the 1st respondent has considered the issue and passed an order dated 1.11.2007 reiterating that the requirement of 50% marks in Higher Secondary Examination as the minimum qualifying marks for securing TTC will continue. With the order so passed, the direction rendered by this court in the aforesaid judgment has been complied with. If that be so, there is no merit in these writ petitions and they are accordingly dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vps
