ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.) The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is suggestive in nature. Based on such ideas and suggestions, no Writ can be entertained. It is a policy decision 2/4

of the Government to regulate NCC training in Schools and Colleges. Thus, the relief as such sought for in this Writ Petition is misconceived and therefore, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs.
