THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 5782 OF 2006: ORDER: The two petitioners, who are the applicants seeking admission to B.Ed course, have filed this Writ Petition praying for writ of Mandamus to direct the second respondent to alter the schedule of dates for the selection lists of first, second and third, for admission into 33 minority colleges, from 24-3-2006, 28-3-2006 and 31-3-2006 to 27-3-2006, 01-04-2006 and 5-4-2006 respectively. The Commissioner and Director of School Education, second respondent herein, issued notification on 6-3-2006, notifying the schedule for admission of candidates into 33 minority colleges for the academic year 2005-2006. Subsequently, on a representation made by some minority students, revised schedule was notified on 14-3-2006. Apart from the same, further fresh notification was issued on 14-3-2006 for 10 more colleges, which were given affiliation subsequent to 6-3-2006. It is the grievance of the petitioners, that if common dates are notified for the lists of admission, for minority candidates, they have better choice to choose college as per their rank, and, therefore the action of the respondents in giving different dates, on 14-3-2006 is illegal and arbitrary. It is to be noted that so far 33 minority colleges are concerned, first notification was issued on 6-3-2006, notifying schedule for admissions. With reference to the same notification, dates were revised on 14-3-2006 in view of representations made by some minority students. As far as another notification on 14-3-2006 is concerned, the same was issued for admission to 10 more minority colleges, which were granted affiliation/recognition subsequent to 6-3-2006. Revised schedule given on 14-3-2006 for 33 minority colleges is in continuation of notification dated 6-3-2006. In that view of the matter no illegality can be pointed out for giving different dates in the schedules, for the minority colleges. In any event, the revised notification was issued on 14-3-2006; the petitioners have approached this Court on 22-3-2006, i.e. one day before commencement of process. The process for submission of filled up applications is already commenced, i.e. from today and any interference at this stage would disturb the process of selection in all the minority colleges. In that view of the matter, I do not find any valid ground to interfere with the notifications issued, to alter the schedule of admissions. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and the same is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. No order as to costs. --------------------------------------- JUSTICE R.
