V. CHITAMBARESH, J --------------------------------------- W.P.(C). Nos. 27754 & 30166 OF 2015 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 07th day of October, 2015

JUDGMENT

Heard the counsel for the petitioner, the Government Pleader for respondents 1 to 3 as well as the Standing Counsel for the fourth respondent. It is unnecessary to issue notice to the fifth respondent who has already been admitted to the course.

2.

It is reported that the seats earmarked for Lakshadweep students are lying vacant and the first round of admission closes today. More number of vacancies are expected even after the second round of admission since the course is Three Year LLB. 3.

The petitioner who is 60% blind can as well be accommodated in the seats lying vacant when he is interested to pursue his education. The Standing Counsel for the University has also no objection to this course taking note of the peculiar circumstances of this case. I

W.P.(C). Nos. 27754 & 30166 OF 2015 2 however add that this judgment shall not be a precedent for the admission to the courses in future.

4.

I take note of the fact that no Entrance Test need be written by Lakshadweep students as well as blind students. The seats earmarked for them should not be allowed to go waste.

The writ petitions are disposed of.
