SRI.P.M.POULOSE, ADDL.CGSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================================= W.P.(C).No.12291 of 2007 ================================== Dated this the 21st day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T In this writ petition the petitioner is a Scout who sought direction to the respondents to permit him to appear for Rashtrapathy Rank Examination for Scouts at the camp organised for the purpose by the respondents. The same was denied on the ground of minor mistakes in the application form submitted by the petitioner. In view of the fact that the petitioner is a minor student, I think that such strict verification of the application is not called for. Therefore, I passed interim order in this case directing the respondents to allow the petitioner to undergo the camp and participate in the examination. Now it is submitted before me by the learned counsel for the respondents that the petitioner has been permitted to undergo camp and w.p.c.12291/07 2 he has written the examination. 2. After hearing both side, I am satisfied that the interim order can be confirmed. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of the interim order and the respondents are directed to publish the results of the examination undergone by the petitioner and to issue certificate to the petitioner, if he has passed the examination, within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner has succeeded in the examination, he can approach the Director of Public Instruction with the certificate, who shall take appropriate action to award eligible marks for the petitioner in accordance with Rules.
