After passing M.Sc (Mathematics) from the University of Calicut, on the basis of Ext.P1 admission certificate, petitioner appeared for National Eligibility Test (NET) Examination held by CSIR, on 20.6.2010. Result of the examination was published in September, 2010 as per Ext.P2. In spite of the petitioner having complied with all procedural formalities for the issuance of NET certificate, the same has not been issued so far. It is this complaint which led the petitioner to file this writ petition. W.P.(C).16573/11 2 3. Heard the learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondents. 4.
