SHAJI, SC FOR UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 5337 OF 2008 I ==================== Dated this the 14th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner seeks admission to B.Ed course being a visually handicapped person with 80% disability and belonging to Ezhava community. Petitioner submits that he is entitled to be accommodated in the 3% seats reserved for handicapped persons. That apart, petitioner also claims entitlement to be accommodated in the 9% reservation provided for Ezhava community as well. 2. Irrespective of all these, the fact remains that petitioner has only 37% marks in B.A Malayalam. It is pointed out by the learned standing counsel for the University that the minimum required marks for admission is 40%. 3. It was obviously because of his ineligibility that there was no response to Ext.P6 application submitted by the petitioner for admission. Since the petitioner does not satisfy the minimum requirement of 40% marks, I do not find any irregularity in this matter warranting interference. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
