At the hearing, Sri D. Kasim Saheb, learned counselfor the petitioner, fairly conceded that this Court, by orderdated 23-11-2011 in W.P.No.8064/2011 and batch, upheldthe revised policy of the Government contained inG.O.Ms.No.66, Social Welfare (SW.EDN.2) Department,dated 8-9-2010 and held that the students who wereadmitted in the convenor’s quota alone were eligible forgrant of Post-Metric scholarships.

Since the petitioner claimed that 40 students wereadmitted in D.Ed. course during the Academic Year 2009-10and are continuing their studies during the AY 2010-11, the respondents are directed to examine the petitioner’s claimfor reimbursement of scholarships in respect of the studentswho are admitted under spot admissions prior to theAcademic Year 2010-11 and are continuing their studies tillcompletion of their courses in terms of the order dated 23-11-2011.
