JUDGMENT
Petitioners are prosecuting 5 year L.L.B course in
the Government Law College, Ernakulam. Though they
have completed 2nd and 6th semesters of the course
and had appeared in the examinations along with their
batch mates, they have not cleared all the papers of
the 2nd and 6th semesters. They are now due to appear
for the 10th semester examination. University has
declined to permit them to do so and hence the writ
petition.
2. Mr.Asok M.Cherian, learned counsel for the
petitioners submits that University has collected fees
from the students for centralised valuation of the
answer scripts and had the results published in time,
petitioners would have been in a position to appear for
the 10th semester examination.
3. Mr.T.A.Shaji, learned Standing Counsel for the
W.P.(C).36362/2008

University submits that the valuation will be completed
at the earliest, at any rate, within two months from the
date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. But
nevertheless, the petitioners cannot be permitted to
appear for the 10th semester examination without
clearing the 2nd and 6th semester examinations. But, if
the petitioners represent the Vice Chancellor, he shall
take a decision as to whether the petitioners are entitled
to a relaxation of the requirements, by which they will
be eligible to participate in the 10th semester
examination without clearing 2nd and 6th semesters. If
the representation is filed within two weeks from today,
it shall be considered and a decision taken thereon, by
the Vice Chancellor, within three weeks thereafter.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
V.GIRI,
Judge
