In response to a notification issued by the Public Service Commission inviting applications for the post of Lecturer in Botany under the collegiate Education Department, petitioner submitted her application. She qualified in the written test. Thereafter she was called upon to produce an equivalency certificate that the Ph.D in Biotechnology obtained from the Kerala University being equivalent to Ph.D Degree in Botany. Thereupon, she submitted Ext.P7 application to the Vice Chancellor of the Kerala University. Orders were not passed and it was complaining of delay on the part of the University the writ petition No.586/2011 was filed.

¶23

During the pendency of that writ petition, since the equivalency certificate claimed by the petitioner has been declined, she again filed W.P. No.1975/2011.

It is now pointed out that during the pendency of these writ petitions, the M.G University have issued an equivalency certificate dated 27.1.2011 and that the petitioner has produced the said certificate before the
