IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.GIRI WEDNESDAY, THE 8TH JULY 2009 / 17TH ASHADHA 1931 WP(C).No. 18969 of 2009(M) -------------------------- PETITIONER(S): --------------- PRIYANKA K.K.N., KALATHIL KUNNUMMEL HOUSE, VAKAYAD P.O., NADUVANNOOR (VIA), KOZHIKODE, PIN - 673 614. BY ADV. SRI.JOSEPH SEBASTIAN PURAYIDAM SMT.MABLE.C.KURIAN RESPONDENT(S): --------------- THE COMMISSIONER OF ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, VTH FLOOR, HOUSING BOARD BUILDINGS, SANTHI NAGAR, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM - 695 001. BY GP SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).18969/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner after completing her CBSE, applied for admission to the Medical Course, 2009. She secured rank No.1231. Admittedly, she did not mention her community in the application nor did she claim the benefit of any SEBC reservation. According to the petitioner, this was a mistake because she belongs to the Hindu-Vaniyan community which was listed as SEBC. 2. She later approached the Commissioner for Entrance Examination seeking a consideration of her claim as a member of SEBC community. This has not been considered and hence the writ petition. 3. Admittedly, petitioner did not claim the benefit of reservation nor did she assert her claim as a member of SEBC community. Prospectus makes it clear that not only should a person refer his community but if desirous of claiming the benefit of reservation, should also produce a W.P.(C).18969/2009 2 certificate from the competent authority. This has not been done in the instant case. In these circumstances, I do not find my way to issue any direction to the respondent. Writ petition is bereft of merit and hence dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
