Degree course for the academic year 2016-2017 (Application No.A31606299) at once. 4.According to the petitioner, he is a differently abled person. He studied +2 course in the Government Higher Secondary School, Devapandalam, Sankarapuram Taluk, Villupuram District as a regular student staying for 4 years in the Government run Hostel. He passed Higher Secondary Course in the year 2002 with minimum marks, then he applied for improvement. At the time of applying for improvement, he has submitted the original mark sheet issued by the department and wrote the improvement examination as a private candidate, and obtained good marks.

Subsequently, he completed Bachelor Degree in Philosophy in Madras University, Master Degree in Social Work from Pondicherry Central University and M.A. Criminology & Police Administration in Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. Now, he applied for 3 years LL.B Course with the respondents 1 and 2 for the academic year 2016-2017. But, unfortunalely, respondents 1 and 2 rejected the application on the ground that in the +2 mark sheet he is shown as private candidate, so he is not eligible to apply for admission to LL.B Course. Clarifying his position, he made a representation dated 12.09.2016 to the respondents 1 and 2, but the same was not considered. Hence, he filed the writ petition.

5.Now, the learned counsel for the petitioner brought to my notice the typed set of papers filed along with the Writ Petition regarding the transfer certificate issued by the Government Higher Secondary School, Devapandalam. It shows, the petitioner completed the Higher Secondary Course in the said School in the year 2002, he also take me through the certificate issued by the said school that he studied +2 in the said school during 2000-2002. So far as the original mark sheet issued by the Department, the petitioner submitted that, he has submitted the same to the authorities while he wrote his improvement examination and it is not available with him.

6.In the above circumstances, petitioner is directed to produce the above transfer certificate and certificate issued by the Government Higher Secondary, Devapandalam before the respondents 1 and 2 on or before 05.10.2016. On such certificates being produced, respondents 1 and 2 shall consider the same, and accept his application and permit him to participate in the counselling on the appointed day in accordance with law.
