GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH SRI.P.PARAMESWARAN NAIR, ASG THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/02/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 4100 OF 2009 (K) ==================== Dated this the 11th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to issue National Trade Certificates to the petitioners forthwith. 2. According to the petitioners, though they completed the course, it was by virtue of Ext.P1 judgment passed by this Court in OP No.1687/94 that they appeared for National Trade Test Examination. Thereafter, when certificates were not issued, they had to obtain Ext.P2 order in OP No.15941/94, by which the respondents were directed to issue the petitioners provisional National Trade Certificate. In pursuance to Ext.P2, provisional certificates were issued and those certificates are produced as Exts.P3, P4 and P5. It is stated that the practice followed by the authorities is that on the expiry of one year from the issue of provisional certificate, regular certificate will be issued. However, the same has not been done in the case of the petitioners. 3. According to the petitioners, a similarly situated candidate approached this Court by filing WP(C) No.17523/2003 and by Ext.P6 judgment, this Court directed the issuance of regular certificate. It is stated that inspite of this, petitioners have not been issued the certificates WPC 4100/09 :2 : and therefore the writ petition is filed. 4. I heard the counsel for the petitioners and also the Assistant Solicitor General on behalf of respondents. 5. A reading of Ext.P6 shows that the case of the petitioners is squarely covered by the said judgment. It is also the case of both parties that in compliance with the said judgment, certificate has been issued. If that be so, there is no reason why the petitioners should be treated in a different manner. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to issue the National Trade Certificate to the petitioners in place of Exts.P3, P4 and P5 provisional certificates, which have already been issued. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
