GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. --------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.2390 of 2009 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioners appeared for S.S.L.C. examination. But, they did not get pass marks in all the subjects. The first petitioner appeared for the examination in June 2005, the second petitioner in June 2006 and the third petitioner in March 2006 as well as in March 2007, as evidenced by Exts.P1 to P3 respectively. It is stated that they intended to appear for the supplementary examination to be held in March 2009. But, they have not paid the prescribed fee for the examination within the stipulated time. According to them, it was an inadvertent omission. The petitioners submitted Ext.P4 representation to the Honourable Minister for Education and Ext.P5 representation to the Commissioner for Government Examinations. Exts.P4 and P5 have not been disposed of. 2. The relief sought for by the petitioners is to direct the respondents to permit the petitioners to remit the fee for S.S.L.C. examination for the year March 2009. There is also an WPC No.2390/2009 2 alternative prayer to consider and dispose of Exts.P4 and P5 representations. 3. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader, I am of the view that the only relief to which the petitioners are entitled to is for a direction to the second respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P5 representation dated 2.1.2009. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the Writ Petition as well as certified copy of the judgment before the second respondent. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE csl
