For Petitioners :

Mr.P.Ganesan For Respondents :

Mr.E.Veda Bagath Singh Special Government Pleader

C O M M O N O R D E R These Writ Petitions have been filed for a direction to the respondents to consider bank guarantee as null and void and also return the original certificates / documents of the petitioners respectively collected by the fourth respondent while admitting the petitioners to Post Graduate Degree course in the fourth respondent College, by considering the representations of the petitioners dated 13.02.2023 and 01.02.2023 respectively.

2. The case of the petitioners is that the petitioners are qualified Doctors, who obtained Post Graduate degree in the respective colleges While obtaining admission, they had executed a bond for two years. Since the petitioners had not served for two years as per the bond terms and conditions, their orignal certificates were not returned. The petitioners have given representations to the respondents for retrun of their original certificates. Since the same has not been considered, the petitioners have filed these Writ Petitions.

3. Though very many grounds have been raised in the present Writ

Petition, it would suffice, if this Court may issues a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioners representations dated 13.02.2023 and 01.02.2023 respectively and pass appropriate orders, within a time frame that may be fixed by this Court.

4. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents has no serious objection for such an order being passed by this Court.
