Accordingly, 2nd Petitioner becomes entitled to receive 56.5 marks and thus becomes entitled to be admitted to Grade 1 of Rahula College, Matara for the year 2021. For the forgoing reasons, we hold that the 1st to 8 th Respondents have violated the fundamental rights guaranteed to the Petitioners in terms of Article 12(1) of the Constitution by arbitrarily refusing to admit the 2nd Petitioner to Grade 1 at Rahula College, Matara for the year 2021. We declare this refusal to be null and void. We make order directing the 1A Respondent to admit the 2nd Petitioner to Grade 2 for the year 2022 at Rahula College, Matara. Court makes further order awarding the Petitioners compensation in a sum of Rs. 25,000/- to be paid by the 1st to 8 th Respondents within 3 months of today.
