SIRPURKAR, J.

By consent, the writ appeal as also the W. P. was taken-up for final hearing. Aggrieved by the order passed by the learned Single Judge, dismissing the W.M.P. No. 6932 of 1999 in W.P.No. 4399 of 1999, the petitioner comes up before us by way of the present writ appeal.

2. In this writ petition, the petitioner had pointed out that initially there was a community certificate in his favour issued by Tahsildar, Chengam on 1-8-1985, on the basis of which he applied for an admission into the diploma course in Petroleum Engineering in Tamil Nadu Polytechnic, Tiruchy during the academic year 1989-93. He pointed out that he was selected and was directed by the Principal to produce permanent community certificate from the Revenue Divisional Officer. It appears that the petitioner had produced only a xerox copy of the certificate and, therefore, he was directed to produce the original community certificate which, he was unable to file. He was, therefore, directed by the Principal to produce another community certificate from the Revenue Divisional Officer. He later on filed W.P.No. 16221 of 1990 for a Mandamus, directing the Principal to admit him in the diploma course
