PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 4855 OF 2008 C ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a student of M.Phil Degree Course in Clinical Psychology, who was admitted for the course for the year 2006- 08 batch. According to the petitioner, the course commenced in the 6th respondent's institute and that after the 1st semester examination was over, 1st respondent withdraw the permission and thereafter, the course has come to a stand still. Petitioner points out that in the counter affidavit filed in WP(C) No.31303/2007, the 4th respondent had stated that the Government had agreed to commence the course at the 6th respondent's institute and that orders were awaited. Petitioner submits that there has not been any progress even thereafter. 2. According to her, by Ext.P9 letter dated 18/7/06, the Superintendent of the 6th respondent has sought orders granting permission to use the facilities of the 6th respondent for the WPC 4855/08 :2 : conduct of the programme in M.Phil in Clinical Psychology. On this request as well, orders are awaited even now. It is in this background this writ petition has been filed. Having gone through the pleadings in this case, I feel what is required to be done is to call upon the 1st respondent to take a decision on Ext.P9 letter written by the Superintendent of the 6th respondent college. Now that Ext.P9 remains unattended by the 1st respondent, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall take up Ext.P9 and take a decision thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
