Hence, the matter was directed to be listed under the caption 'for dismissal' on 15.03.2024 and on that date it was not listed. Even today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. It is reported that the learned counsel, who filed this case, is no more.

3.Since this writ petition is pending from the year 2018, this Court proceeded to dispose of this writ petition based on the available materials.

pursuing the course of B.Sc., (Hotel Management & Catering Science). The course is only three years course. The said three years course itself would be completed by this time. Hence, the relief sought for by the petitioner would become infructuous by passage of time.
