W.P(C) No. 8853 of 2008 ................................................. Dated this the 10th day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P18 order of the University of Kerala dated 3.3.2008 by which the petitioner was informed that by resolution dated 27.2.2008, the University had decided to suspend the two M.Tech Degree courses on unaided basis in (1) Mechanical (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) and (2) Electrical and Electronics (Industrial Instrumentation and Control) for a period of one year. Whether the suspension starts from 27.2.2008 or 3.3.2008, the period of suspension by Ext.P18 is over. The petitioner submits that, in view of the suspension, the petitioner has not admitted any students for these courses for the year 2008-2009. He also submits that no further orders have been issued subsequently extending the suspension. Therefore the petitioner submits that the order has worked itself out. The standing counsel for the University does not dispute the fact that no further orders have been issued in this regard. That being so, I do not think that it is necessary to W.P(C) No. 8853of 2008 -2- consider the writ petition on merits now. Accordingly, the same is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge any further action in this regard on the same contentions raised in this writ petition, in case any further proceedings are taken against the petitioner. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
