BANGALORE, JAN. 8. Justice R. Gururajan on Thursday allowed a petition by the Islamiya Education Trust of Gulbarga and said that the State Government had no right to fill up all the seats in the institution run by the trust. The trust had set up Mohammadia College of Education to conduct B.Ed. courses. In 2003-04, the Government asked the institution to fill 50 of the 100 seats. It said that the other 50 seats would be filled by the Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell. When the Government seats remained unfilled, the institution admitted 50 other students under its quota. When the university refused to regularise the excess admissions, the institution wrote to the Government. The Government regularised the admission and asked the institution not to admit excess students in future. The Government then said it intended to fill all 100 seats for 2004-05. The institution challenged this order on the grounds that it violated the seat matrix arrived at between the Government and private professional institutions. Justice Gururajan said the Government could not admit students to all seats as it violated admission norms.
Set aside
Justice Gururajan on Thursday allowed a petition by an official of the Karnataka Small Industries Marketing Corporation (KSIMC) and set aside the articles of charges framed against the official by Upalokayukta. The petitioner, K.S. Srivatsa, said he was working as the Deputy General Manager of KSIMC. The Government on March 1, 1995 and December 12, 1995 referred to the charges levelled against him by the Lokayutka. The charge was that Mr. Srivatsa had acted in an unbecoming manner while placing orders for absorbent cotton in 1987-88 and 1988-89. The Upalokayukta on August 13, 1999 issued an article of charge against Mr. Srivatsa, who moved the High Court against it. He said he was not a Government servant and, hence, the Upalokayukta did not have any power to conduct a departmental inquiry against him. He said he was bound by the KSIMC rules. Justice Gururajan allowed the petition and set aside the article of charges. He, however, gave liberty to the KSIMC to proceed against the petitioner.
Notice
A Division Bench comprising the Chief Justice, Nauvdip Kumar Sodhi, and Justice B. Padmaraj on Thursday ordered issue of notices to the State authorities and others on Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition by two residents of V.V. Puram, Bangalore. The petitioners, Sarwamangala T.N. and Ravi Shankar, both of S.B. Road, V.V. Puram, said the residents of the area and pedestrians were being inconvenienced by street hawkers. They urged the court to direct the authorities to shift the hawkers. The Bench adjourned further hearing of the petition to February 7.

The petitioners said there were nearly 275 houses in one and half cents of land. The MCC had stopped supplying them piped water from December 13, 2004. A Division Bench comprising the Chief Justice, Nauvdip Kumar Sodhi, and Justice B. Padmaraj on Thursday ordered issue of notices to MCC and posted the case to February 8. The same Bench posted to February 8 a PIL petition by the Chennakeshava Nagara Hitarakshana Samithi of Electronic City, Bangalore, seeking a direction to remove encroachments on Survey No. 40 in Chennakeshava village.
