KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.109 of 2005 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 18th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The challenge is on Ext.P7 order passed by the Lok Ayukta. The issue pertains to the admission made by the petitioner in the college. The stand taken by the University is that admissions in the private aided colleges are governed by the instruction issued by the University. It is also stated that the Principal being the head of the college, is responsible for the internal management and administration of the college. It is further stated that 20% of the seats can be filled up by the educational agency by the candidates of its own choice and that there is no restriction as to the merit or ranking. Still further it is stated that in the instant case, in view of the order passed by the Lok Ayukta, the shortage of attendance had been condoned by the University. In the above circumstances, no further orders are necessary in the writ petition, except to make it clear that the admissions to the college shall be as per the norms prescribed by the University.
