JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed with the following prayers:-
"(i). Issue a writ of mandamus or any other
appropriate writ, order or direction directing the
respondents to open the facility of online portal for
including the NEET score of the petitioners along
with the application before finalizing the list of KEAM
2023.
(ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other
appropriate writ, order or direction directing the
respondents to make necessary publication and/or
notification or the candidates outside Kerala to
register themselves online with the Commissioner
for Entrance Examinations so as to participate in the
allotment.
(iii) Pass such other order or further directions as
this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and reasonable in
the facts and circumstances of the case." (SIC)
2. The petitioners are candidates who are seeking
admission to the professional Degree Course in Government
Medical / Dental Colleges. As per the notification of the 3 rd
respondent, the petitioners have submitted their application
by 12.07.2023 & 13.07.2023 respectively. It is the case of
the petitioners that they were already qualified for the
W.P (C) No.26344 of 2023
NEET-UG 2023 conducted by the NTA and having the NEET
score card. According to the petitioners, it is not mandatory
to submit the NEET score card within the prescribed limit
and non inclusion of the petitioners' name in the final
category list of KEAM 2023 because NEET score card is not
correct. The petitioners submitted Exts.P27 to P38 before
the 3rd respondent, the same is not considered. It is
submitted that similarly situated candidates approached
this Court and this Court passed Ext.P39 judgment. A
similar direction may be passed in this case, is the
submission.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and
the learned Government Pleader.
4. After hearing both sides, I think this writ petition
can be disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider
Exts.P27 to 38 within a time frame.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the
following directions.
1) The 3rd respondent is directed to consider
and pass appropriate orders in Exts.27 to P38,
as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within
a period of five days from the date of receipt of
W.P (C) No.26344 of 2023
a certified copy of this judgment. The 3 rd
respondent will take a practical approach while
deciding the matter, keeping in mind the future
of the students.
2) The petitioners will produce a certified
copy of this judgment along with a copy of the
writ petition before the 3rd respondent for
compliance.
