GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 28468 OF 2010 (G) ===================== Dated this the 15th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner entered Health Services Department in the year 1997. He applied for admission to the Super Speciality Course, the prospectus of which is Ext.P1. There are only seven seats available in the Health Services quota and post graduates with five years experience below 47 years alone are eligible. Ext.P2 is the ranked list, where the petitioner is at Sl.No.17 and he is the first in the waiting list. According to the petitioner, he will be attaining the age of 47 years in the next year and therefore this is the last chance when the petitioner can aspire for admission to Super Speciality Course. 2. Essentially distribution of seats for different disciplines for admission to Super Speciality Courses is a matter of policy of the Government and scope of interference in such a case in a proceedings under Article 226 is very limited. Therefore, it is a matter for the Government to consider whether to redistribute the seats or to explore the possibility of increasing the seats. It is seen that the petitioner has moved the Government by filing WPC No. 28468/10 :2 : Exts.P5 and P6. 3. Having regard to the pendency of the said representations, I direct the 1st respondent to consider the same in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say that this Court has not expressed anything on the merits and it is open to the Government to decide the issue. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
