To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).22861/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 23rd day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner was an applicant for admission to B.Sc Nursing, B.Pharm and other Para Medical Courses, pursuant to the prospectus, issued in the year 2011. She claimed the benefit of reservation under the SEBC category on the ground that she belongs to Kaniyar-Panicker community. It is stated that in support of her claim, she had also produced Exts.P4 and P5 community and income certificates. In the rank list she was included at Sl.No.719 for B.Sc Nursing and 597 for B.Pharm Degree Course under the SEBC category. Thereafter when allotments were made, ignoring her claims, she was not allotted to any College. This, it is stated, has occurred for the reason that in the provisional rank list, her name was erroneously included among the Ezhava category and was assigned rank No.1673. Petitioner states that this was an inadvertent mistake committed by the first respondent and therefore, she has filed Ext.P9 before the first respondent seeking rectification of the aforesaid mistake. The application is not considered so far, which led the petitioner to file this writ petition. W.P.(C).22861/11 2 2. If as stated by the petitioner in finalizing the provisional rank list, a mistake has been committed by the first respondent, necessarily that requires to be rectified. The petitioner has sought rectification of the mistake by filing Ext.P9 and in view of its pendency, I direct the first respondent to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in the matter. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within ten days of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
