This writ petition is for issuing a Writ of Mandamus, directing the second respondent to include the petitioner in the Rank List for Government Quota seats in the category SCA for MBBS course for the academic year 2018-2019 and permit the

petitioner to participate in the Government Counselling. This court dismissed the interim application filed by the petitioner in W.M.P.No.19581 of 2018 in W.P.No.16425 of 2018. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has preferred a writ appeal in W.A.Nos.1495,1508 and 1513 of 2018. The appeals preferred by the petitioner along with similar appellants, were allowed by the Division Bench of this Court by its common judgment dated 09.08.2018, and the relevant portion of the said order is extracted below:

"128.Offending portion of the orders passed by the writ Court, are set aside. Appellants, be treated as native of Tamil Nadu. They shall be permitted to attend the second round of counselling for admission, as against the seats meant for Tamil Nadu State Quota, by following the merit cum rule of reservation, applicable to the State of Tamil Nadu." Pursuant to the direction of the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court, it is further admitted that the writ petitioner was given admission to undergo the course in Mohan Kumar Medical College, Salem.

In view of the above facts, this Court is of the view that no further order is required as the prayer has been acceded. Hence, the Writ petition is closed as infructuous. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneus Petition is also closed.
