They were admitted pursuant to the test conducted as provided in Ext.P1. While admitting them in the 3rd respondent school, according to the petitioners and the Headmaster, in the absence of birth certificates, declarations made by the parents were accepted. However, for want of production of birth certificates, the admissions have not been regularized and that made the petitioners to file this writ petition, praying for a direction to the respondents to regularize their admission in the 3rd respondent school. 2. This very issue was considered by this Court in several cases, and two such judgments are Exts.P2 and P3, in WP(C) Nos.16197/2005 & connected cases and W.P.(C) No.30906/2008 -2- 20506/2007 respectively, where it has held that in terms of the provisions contained in Chapter VI, Rule 1 of K.E.R. it is permissible to admit students accepting the declarations of the parents, in the circumstances provided in the Rule. In this case, since birth certificates are not available, declarations were made by the parents, and it was on that basis admissions have been done. There is nothing irregular in such admissions and therefore, the same are liable to be regularized, this the 4th respondent shall do on production of a copy of this judgment without further delay in this matter. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
