ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 30459 of 2010 F ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 8th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner sought admission for B.Ed Course in a seat reserved for Latin Catholic. She was No.2 in the wait list. The first candidate in the wait list did not turn up for admission. Instead of admitting the petitioner, another candidate was admitted. It is complaining this injustice, this writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions. According to him, one Miss.Jesna Xavier, another Latin Catholic candidate, was omitted to be included in the ranked list, despite, her having higher marks than the petitioner. It is stated that against her exclusion from the ranked list and wait list, she had lodged a complaint. It is stated that on examining the complaint, it was found that there was merit in the complaint and that on that basis, the wait list was reviewed and she was admitted in the vacancy in the WPC.30459/10 : 2 : Latin Catholic quota. 3. Thus, it is evident that this was a case the authorities have corrected a mistake committed by them. If Miss.Jesna Xavier was earlier included in the wait list, she would have above the petitioner and the petitioner would not had a claim for the vacancy. Now, by correcting the mistake, the rightful claim of Miss.Jesna Xavier has been recognised by the authorities. In that view of the matter, since what the authorities have done was only correction of a mistake which was committed by them, this Court will not be justified in interfering with this. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
