Evidently, the petitioner has filed an application on its own without waiting for any notification. Even if there is a local need as projected by the petitioner, it will have to comply with the directions issued by the Department and the Government in the matter and only if there is a policy involved by the Government for inviting application for W.P.(C). No.1416/2011 -:2:- starting Plus II courses, the petitioner will be entitled to put forth the claims and only after satisfying the conditions the same could be considered. 4. The Government or the Department has not invited any notification as on today. Therefore, no directions as sought for by the petitioner can be granted in this writ petition. Therefore, leaving open the remedy of the petitioner to file an application as and when there is a change of policy evolved by the Government for inviting application for starting Plus II courses, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms \\TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE
