BY GP SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).34220/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 27th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner underwent M.Sc Nursing Course in the Government College of Nursing, Kottayam, on 14.2.2008. Government issued an order implementing compulsory bonded service for M.Sc Nursing students. It is challenged by the petitioner and others in Writ Petition No.18940/2008. This Court admitted the writ petition and granted an order restraining Government from compelling Nursing students to render compulsory bonded service, if they had not executed a bond in that behalf. Petitioner's present grievance relates to the reluctance on the part of the authorities, as the petitioner points out, in handing over the originals of her S.S.L.C Book, Pre-Degree Mark List, B.Sc Nursing Degree Certificate, Certificate of Registered Nurse, Certificate of Registered Midwife and Experience Certificate. These were apparently produced before the third respondent, when she had joined the Government College for prosecuting her W.P.(C).34220/2008 2 M.Sc Nursing Course. The certificates relating to her successful completion of M.Sc Course is still with the third respondent and the writ petition does not relate to the said Certificate. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that any dispute as regards the return of the said certificate may be permitted to be urged in Writ petition No.18940/2008. 3. Learned Government Pleader on instructions, submits that if the petitioner makes a written application before the third respondent for return of the documents mentioned earlier, same shall be forthwith returned to the petitioner. Submission is recorded. 4. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to return to the petitioner the documents sought for by her, namely the originals of S.S.L.C Book, Pre-Degree Mark List, B.Sc Nursing Degree Certificate, Certificate of Registered Nurse, W.P.(C).34220/2008 3 Certificate of Registered Midwife and Experience Certificate, within two weeks, if the petitioner submits an application in this behalf along with the copy of the judgment and a copy of the writ petition.
