No. 4256 of 2008, which is in the nature of application for amendment of pleadings, seeking to challenge the letter no.680(1), dated 13.6.2008 (Annexure-1), whereby the State Government has refused to grant permission to the petitioner to start M.D.S. course. In view of the statements made in this application and the submissions made in support thereof, this application is allowed. The averments made in this application shall form part of the writ petition, and the petitioner is permitted to challenge the said order dated 13.6.2008 (Annexure-1). It appears to us on a perusal of the materials on record that 2 the petitioner-College has engaged in self and serious irregularities with regard to admission and issuance of the mark-sheets and for which the matter is being investigated by the Cabinet (Vigilance) Department. We are, therefore, of the view that permission has been refused to start M.D.S. course for a valid reason. We are not inclined to proceed further in the matter. The writ petition is dismissed.
