JUDGMENT The petitioners are Managers of Vocational Higher Secondary Schools. They are aggrieved by the refusal to sanction additional courses (two batches each to the respective schools) in spite of submission of applications as per Exts.P1 and P2. In W.P.(C) No.1392/2004 an identical issue was considered by this court. It was disposed of making it clear that “since the respondents have already taken steps, the petitioner may submit the applications as and when notification is issued and the matter will be considered by the Government taking note also the fact that the petitioner has been applying for the course ever since 2001.” A similar direction can be issued in this writ petition also. The petitioners will submit appropriate applications whenever a notification is issued and the matter will be considered by the Government taking note of the fact that the petitioners had submitted the applications, Exts.P1 and P2 at that point of time also. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
