P (C) No. 17898 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 7th August, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the father of a child who applied for admission to the Sainik School, Kazhakootam. His child did not secure admission. Therefore, the petitioner filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs: “i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order commanding the respondents to admit the son of the petitioner, Vivek Nair.P., to the Vith Standard in Sainik School, Kazhakootam. ii) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order commanding the respondents to produce before this court the respective records of the entrance examination to VIth Standard of Sainik School, Kazhakootam which would justify their action in excluding the petitioner's son from the rank list for the Entrance Examination 2008-2009.” At that time, he was under the belief that his son has not been included even in the waiting list. Therefore, I had directed the 2nd respondent to produce the details regarding the same. Now, the entire list has been produced before me. Learned counsel for the petitioner is now satisfied that petitioner's son has also been included in the waiting list. In the above circumstances, the petitioner confines his relief for a direction to the respondents to grant admission to his son in accordance with his merit in the waiting list as and when future vacancies, which could be filled up, arises for this year. I am of opinion that even the respondents cannot have any objection to the same. In fact, they are bound to do so, but, strictly in accordance with the position of the petitioner's son in the rank list. There would be a direction to that effect. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
