Judgment :- 1. This writ petition has been filed praying that this Court may be pleased to issue a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to enforce their order, dated 6.8.2010, and to admit the petitioner in B.E.Mechanical Engineering Degree course, in the third respondent college. 2. It has been stated that the third respondent college had issued an allotment order to the petitioner, dated 6.8.2010, to join B.E. Mechanical Engineering Degree course, in the third respondent college. In spite of the fact that the petitioner was present on the assigned date, with the necessary fees, he was not allowed to join the college, as per the said order. 3. It has also been submitted that the petitioner had sent representations to the various authorities, including the District Collector, Erode District and to the Directorate of Technical Education, Chennai. In spite of their directions to the third respondent, the request of the petitioner had not been complied with. In such circumstances, the petitioner has preferred the present writ petition before this Court, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 4. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the third respondent, it has been submitted that, in spite of an order having been issued by the third respondent college, requesting the petitioner to join B.E. Mechanical Engineering Degree Course, he had not turned up. In such circumstances, all the sixty seats, in B.E.Mechanical Engineering Degree Course, had been filled up, within the prescribed date for such admissions. 5. It has also been stated that the claim of the petitioner that he was present in the third respondent college, on the assigned date, to join the course, as directed in the provisional admission letter, dated 6.8.2010, along with the necessary fees, is false. It has also been submitted that the semester examinations for the said course had already commenced, on 21.12.2010. 6. In view of the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition and in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the third respondent and in view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioner, as well as the respondents, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner has not shown sufficient cause or reason to grant the reliefs, as prayed for by the petitioner, in the present writ petition. 7.
7. The petitioner has not been in a position to substantiate his claim that he was present in the third respondent College, to join B.E.Mechanical Engineering Degree Course, as per the provisional admission letter, dated 6.8.2010, with the necessary fees. Even though he had sent certain representations to the District Collector, Erode District and to some other authorities, it cannot be relied on by the petitioner, as proof of his being present in the third respondent college, to accept the admission offered by the third respondent college, by its order, dated 6.8.2010. 8. It is also noted that the third respondent college had filled up all the sixty seats available, in B.E.Mechanical Engineering Degree Course, within the stipulated period, for the admission of the students, in the said course. In such circumstances, this Court does not find it appropriate to grant the reliefs, as prayed for by the petitioner, at this stage. Hence, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
