None appears for the writ petitioner.

2. The learned standing counsel for the respondent submitted that the writ petitioner applied for joining the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

research programme conducted by the respondent University in the year 2007. His application was rejected for the reasons set out in the impugned order dated 03.05.2007 and thereafter, the petitioner challenged the portion of prospectus, insofar as it states that those M.L. Degree holders, who obtained the degree through Distance Education or Private study will not be considered for admission in Ph.D. in law.

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. Connected, miscellaneous application is closed. No costs.
