J U D G M E N T The petitioners who were students of Government Industrial Training Institute are aggrieved since on completion of their respective courses, they were not given National Trade Certificates by the National Council for Vocational Training, on the ground that the courses undergone by them from their institute did not have the recognition of N.C.V.T. 2. This Court in several cases ordered the State Council for Vocational Training to issue certificates, which shall be treated as equivalent to N.C.V.T certificates for the purpose of employment under the State Government, Public Sector Undertakings/ Institutions, Corporations, Statutory Boards, Semi-Government Institutions etc., under the administrative control of the Government and also other statutory bodies like Universities etc. Now, the Apex Court, by judgment dated 22.02.2008 in Sudheesh C.M & Ors. vs. Director of Training, I.T.D.T. & Ors. (Civil Appeal No.1541-1544 of 2008) has directed the N.C.V.T to issue National Trade Certificates to similarly placed W.P.(C) No.29770/05 2 petitioners. In view of the said judgment, all those who have completed and cleared the requisite examinations shall be granted National Trade Certificates in the concerned Trade by the N.C.V.T. This the N.C.V.T shall do within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
