W.P.(C.) No.384 of 2009
---------------------------------
Dated, this the 6th day of January, 2009
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner wants to appear for the 10th semester LLB
Examination. However, the University has not permitted him to
appear for the Examination for the reason that he has not cleared
one of the papers of the 6th semester Examination.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has
already appeared for the Supplementary Examination held in
October 2008 and that the University has not announced the results
so far. It is stated that in the meanwhile the 10th semester
Examination is to commence on 08/01/2009 and therefore pending
announcement of the Supplementary Examination results he should
be permitted to appear for the said Examination.
3. In terms of the regulations of the University, if a student
does not clear the previous semesters, which in this case is the 6th
semester, he will not be permitted to appear in the 10th semester
Examination. Therefore, the fact that the petitioner has appeared for
the Supplementary Examination, will not entitle the petitioner to
WP(C) No.384/2009
-2-
appear for the Examination ignoring the regulations framed by the
University.
4. Be that as it may, now that the petitioner has already
appeared for the Supplementary Examination, I direct the University
to finalise the valuation and declare the result as expeditiously as
possible, at any rate, within two months. But, that does not mean
that the petitioner can be permitted to appear for the Examination
in relaxation of the regulations framed by the University. Further
this issue has already been decided by this Court in the judgment in
WP(C) No.36362/2008.
This writ petition is disposed of as above.
(ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)
