According to the petitioners, after the pre-test conducted the names of the petitioners were excluded from consideration. Petitioners therefore seek the following reliefs. i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writs, orders or directions directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to appear for the Rashtrapathy Rank Examination for Scouts in this Academic year, to be held from 06/09/2008 to 10/09/2008 at S.T.C, Palode. W.P(C)No.25676/2008 AND W.P(C)No.27458/2008 2 ii) Grant such other reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may deem fir and proper, in the circumstances of the case. 2) At the time of admission I granted an Interim Order directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to appear for the Rashtrapati Rank Examination for scouts for the academic year to be held from 06/09/2008 to 10/09/2008. Petitioners appeared for the examination also. The issue involved in this writ petitions are covered by the Division Bench decision of this court in writ appeal No.1658/2008 in favour of the petitioners which is admitted by the counsel for the respondents. What, therefore, requires to be done in these writ petitions is only to direct the respondents to declare the results of the examination written by the petitioners. Accordingly these writ petitions are disposed of W.P(C)No.25676/2008 AND W.P(C)No.27458/2008 3 directing the respondents to declare the results of the examination of the petitioners and to issue them certificates if they have come out successful, as if they had validly participated in the examination.
