No.12270 of 1998 (I) ======================= Dated this the 14th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT This original petition is filed seeking the following reliefs: "i) to issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order, or direction, directing the respondents to issue marklist of the petitioner for the 2nd year Vocational Higher Secondary Examination. ii) to issue a direction, directing the 2nd and 3rd respondents to issue a provisional marklist to the petitioner, pending final disposal of the Original Petition. iii) to issue a writ of certiorari or other appropriate order or direction, to quash the withholding of result of the examination to the extent it withhold the result of the petitioner. iv) to issue such other order or direction, as this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of this case including cost." 2. The original petition was filed in 1998. When the O.P. No.12270/1998/I -2- matter was taken up, the counsel for the petitioner was absent. In the nature of the reliefs prayed for, I do not think that at this distance of time the grievance of the petitioner would still subsist. Accordingly, this original petition is closed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authorities, if any of his grievances still subsists. Sd/- S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
