:COMMON ORDER<\/p>\n
\tThe petitioner passed S.S.L.C. Examinations in 2003.  He joined Diploma in
\nMechanical Engineering (D.M.E.) course at Jeyaraj Annapackiam Polytechnic at
\nNazareth in 2003.  He passed D.M.E. in April 2006.\n<\/p>\n
\t2.Thereafter, he joined in the 1st respondent College in the second year
\nin B.E. (Mechanical Engineering) during 2006 – 2007.  Since, he passed Diploma
\nin Mechanical Engineering, he was admitted in the 2nd year of B.E. course.  He
\npassed 3rd and 4th semester examinations.  During June 2007, he joined 5th
\nsemester.\n<\/p>\n
\t3.According to the petitioner, the students including the petitioner
\nobjected the behaviour of one teaching staff viz., Mr.Livingston Jebakumar.
\nThere were agitations against the said teacher for his conduct.  While so, the
\ncollege intimated the father of the petitioner in their letter dated 10.11.2007
\nthat the college was to issue Transfer Certificate to the petitioner and he
\nshall not continue his studies at the 1st respondent college.  The following
\nreasons are given for issuing the Transfer Certificate:
\n\ti. The petitioner has not got signature in the observation and record note
\nbook in time.\n<\/p>\n
\tii.The petitioner did not write and did not pass the series test and model
\ntest.\n<\/p>\n
\tiii.The petitioner was very rude and rough to the Faculty members.
\n\tiv. The petitioner instigated other students to boycott the classes.\n<\/p>\n
\t4.Besides the petitioner, 6 other students were also issued similar
\nletter.  The College has also sent another letter dated 06.12.2007 to the
\nparents of the 7 students, who were to issue Transfer Certificates, to meet the
\nPrincipal before 15.12.2007, otherwise, the students would not be admitted to
\nthe College in the 6th semester.  Accordingly, the parents met the Principal.
\nAll the parents pleaded to the College to continue the students until they
\ncomplete the course.  According to the college, the parents did not respond to
\nthe letter.  While so, the College sent the Transfer Certificate along with
\ntheir letter dated 02.01.2008.\n<\/p>\n
\t5.The parents of the petitioner complained to the Anna University in their
\nletter dated 11.01.2008 stating that the petitioner was unjustly sent out of the
\nCollege.  A detailed letter was sent stating that the College arbitrarily acted
\nagainst the petitioner.  It is stated that they met the Principal, Head of the
\nDepartment and the Chairman for continuation of the studies of the petitioner in
\nthe College.\n<\/p>\n
\t6.The petitioner also sent another letter dated 11.01.2008 to the Anna
\nUniversity about the conduct of the College that the College arbitrarily
\ndespatched the Transfer Certificate and thereby, he was not able to continue the
\nstudies.\n<\/p>\n
\t7.In these circumstances, according to the petitioner, the University
\ndirected the College to permit the students to continue their studies and
\naccordingly, they were permitted to pursue their studies and they appeared for
\nthe 6th semester examinations.\n<\/p>\n
\t8.When the college re-opened after the semester holidays on 26.06.2008,
\nthe petitioner was not permitted to attend 7th semester classes.  No written
\norder was issued.\n<\/p>\n
\t9.The students complained to one students’ organization viz., Students
\nFederation of India.  The said organization took up the cause of the students
\nwith the Anna University.  They sent a fax complaining the arbitrary action of
\nthe College in not permitting the students to continue their studies.  The
\nCollege insisted the students to get their Transfer Certificates unjustly and
\narbitrarily.\n<\/p>\n
\t10.The University sent a letter dated 23.07.2008 to the College, in
\nresponse to the complaint received from the Students Organization and directed
\nthe College to send their remarks in respect of the said matter along with the
\nfax received from the Students Federation of India.\n<\/p>\n
\t11.It seems that no remarks were offered by the College for their conduct.
\nThe College did not explain the reason as to why the students including the
\npetitioner were not permitted to attend the classes for 7th semester from
\n26.06.2008.\n<\/p>\n
\t12.In these circumstances, the University sent a letter dated 04.08.2008
\nadvising the college to permit the students to continue their studies.\n<\/p>\n
\t13.Thereafter, the Commissioner of Technical Education has also sent a
\nletter dated 07.08.2008 to the College, to permit the students to continue their
\nstudies.\n<\/p>\n
\t14.In the mean time, one among the 7 students did not pursue his studies
\nin the College.  In the said circumstances, the College sent a circular dated
\n13.08.2008 permitting six students to attend the classes from that day onwards.
\nThough the name of the petitioner is found place in the circular dated
\n13.08.2008, he was not permitted to attend the classes.  Hence, he filed
\nW.P.(MD) No.7943 of 2008 to attend the classes pertaining to the 7th semester.
\nAn interim order was passed on 12.09.2008, directing the 1st respondent to
\npermit the petitioner to attend the 7th semester classes.  Thereafter only, the
\npetitioner was permitted to attend the classes from 16.09.008.\n<\/p>\n
\t15.While so, the College sent a communication dated 01.10.2008 that the
\npetitioner lacks attendance for appearing 7th semester examination that was to
\ncommence from 13.10.2008.  According to the College, the petitioner had only 16%
\nof attendance up to 30.09.2008, while the required attendance is 75%.  Thus, the
\npetitioner has filed the writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.9770 of 2008, praying to
\nquash the aforesaid letter dated 01.10.2008 of the College, not permitting the
\npetitioner to appear in the examination and for a direction to the respondents
\nto permit the petitioner to attend 7th semester examinations.\n<\/p>\n
\t16.The writ petition was admitted on 03.11.2008.  While admitting the writ
\npetition, this Court issued an interim direction in M.P.(MD) No.4 of 2008 in
\nW.P.(MD) No.9770 of 2008 to the respondents, to permit the petitioner to attend
\nthe examinations for 7th semester of B.E.(Mechanical) course that was scheduled
\nto commence on 07.11.2008.  It is stated that the result of the petitioner shall
\nnot be published until further orders from this Court.  Hence, his result is yet
\nto be published.\n<\/p>\n
\t17.At this juncture, it is relevant to note that the other 5 students, who
\nwere similarly situated like the petitioner were permitted to write 7th semester
\nexamination by the College and their results were published.  It is also
\nrelevant to note that those students were permitted only on 13.08.2008 as
\nnarrated above.  It is surprising that the College states that the special
\nclasses were conducted for those students and thereby required attendance were
\ngiven to them.  It is not known as to why the same treatment was not given to
\nthe petitioner, since tuition fees for the 7th semester was collected from the
\npetitioner also like other students.\n<\/p>\n
\t18.The 8th semester commenced from the 1st week of December 2008.  The
\nCollege sent a letter dated 03.12.2008, informing the petitioner that since he
\nhad only 21% attendance in the 7th semester classes, it should be treated that
\nhe did not complete the said semester.  Therefore, he could not be permitted to
\nattend the 8th semester classes.\n<\/p>\n
\t19.The petitioner sent a representation to the University stating that
\nagain he was unjustly denied permission to attend the classes during 8th
\nsemester.  This time, the University issued a direction, dated 10.12.2008 to the
\nCollege, to permit the petitioner to attend the 8th semester classes.
\nAccordingly, the petitioner was permitted to attend the classes from 15.12.2008.
\nThe petitioner attended the classes and he had the requisite attendance for the
\n8th semester.  When the 8th semester examination was to commence in April\/May
\n2009, the University sent a letter dated 06.04.2009, to the petitioner stating
\nthat since the result of the 7th semester examination was withheld, subject to
\nthe result of the writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.9770 of 2008, the petitioner
\ncould not be permitted to appear for the 8th semester examination during April
\n2009.  This has forced him to file the writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.3443 of 2009
\nto quash the said order dated 06.04.2009 of the University.  While admitting the
\nwrit petition in W.P.(MD) No.3443 of 2009 on 18.04.2009, this Court issued a
\ndirection in M.P.(MD) No.2 of 2009 to the respondents to permit the petitioner
\nto take up the 8th semester examinations that commenced from 20.04.2009.  It is
\nstated that the result of the examination shall be withheld until further orders
\nof this Court.  Pursuant to the same, the petitioner was permitted to take both
\nthe theory and practical examinations for 8th semester.\n<\/p>\n
\t20.The College filed the counter affidavit and also filed typed set of
\npapers.  The University has not filed any counter affidavit.\n<\/p>\n
\t21.Heard both sides.\n<\/p>\n
\t22.I have considered the submissions made on either side.\n<\/p>\n
\t23.The College informed 7 students that they were issued Transfer
\nCertificates in their letter dated 10.11.2007.  The said letter dated 10.11.2007
\nis extracted hereunder:\n<\/p>\n
\t\t“I am directed by the Management Committee to issue the Transfer
\napplication to your son because of the following reasons.  He shall not continue
\nto study at Infant Jesus College of Engineering during the Even semester.\n<\/p>\n
\t1.He has not got signature in the observation and Record note book in
\ntime.\n<\/p>\n
\t2.Not written and passed the Series Tests and Model Test.\n<\/p>\n
\t3.He was very rude and rough to the Faculty Members.\n<\/p>\n
\t4.He instigated other students to boycott classes.”
\nThe reason for the decision to issue Transfer Certificate to the petitioner is
\nextracted above.  Before passing the said order, none of the students including
\nthe petitioner were heard.  The reason given in the letter dated 10.11.2007 is
\nalso vague without any details.  The said order dated 10.11.2007 is highly
\narbitrary and no prudent educational institution could issue such an order
\nwithout following the basic principles of natural justice.  This shows the very
\nattitude of the College and the bent of mind exhibited by them.\n<\/p>\n
\t24.The said narration of facts are not in dispute.  After sending the
\naforesaid letter dated 10.11.2007, the College sent the Transfer Certificates
\nalong with their letter dated 02.01.2008.  It was complained to the University.
\nThe University seems to have interfered and the students were permitted to
\ncontinue the course and they completed 6th semester.\n<\/p>\n
\t25.The College did not leave the matter and they unjustly denied
\npermission to attend the classes to all the 7 students for the 7th semester
\nclasses.  One of the students did not pursue his studies in the College.  The
\nsix others including the petitioner complained the matter to one Students
\norganization viz., Students Federation of India and the said organization took
\nup the matter with the Anna University by sending fax.  The University sent a
\nletter dated 23.07.2008 to the College Seeking to send remarks.  The letter
\ndated 23.07.2008 of the Anna University to the College seeking its remarks is
\nextracted hereunder:\n<\/p>\n
\t” I am to inform you that a fax letter has been received from the III
\nYear, B.E. (Mechanical) students of your college, through Thiru.P.Uchimakali,
\nDistrict, Indian Students Association, Tirunelveli, requesting permission to
\ncontinue their studies in your college, as the college management is not
\nallowing them to attend the classes.\n<\/p>\n
\tIn this regard, you are requested to sent your early remarks in respect of
\nthe above matters to this office.  I enclose herewith a copy of the above
\nreference for your early remarks.”\n<\/p>\n
\t26.In spite of the letter from the Anna University, directing the College
\nto send their remarks for not admitting the students for classes, the College
\ndid not choose to send their remarks.  The College also did not choose to permit
\nthe students to attend the classes.  In these circumstances, the Anna University
\nsent a letter dated 04.08.2008, directing the College to permit the students
\nincluding the petitioner.  The letter dated 04.08.2008 sent by the Anna
\nUniversity to the College is extracted hereunder:\n<\/p>\n
\t“I am to inform you that one more requisition letter has been received
\nfrom the IV Year B.E. (Mech.) students of your college, requesting permission to
\ncontinue their studies at your college, as they are not allowed to attend the
\nclasses and insisted by the management to get their Transfer Certificate.  They
\nhave requested pardon for their mistakes, if anything, done by them.  Further,
\nthey have informed that they will not do any problems against the college, in
\nfuture.\n<\/p>\n
\tIn this regard, you are requested to consider the welfare of the students
\nand also permit them to continue their studies in your college.  Hence, I
\nenclose herewith a copy of the 3rd reference of your remarks to send the same to
\nthis office, at the earliest.”\n<\/p>\n
\t27.The Commissioner of Technical Education, Chennai also directed the
\ncollege in his letter dated 07.08.2008, to permit the students to continue their
\nstudies.  Only thereafter, the college sent the circular dated 13.08.2008,
\npermitting the six students including the petitioner to attend classes.  It is
\nnot known as to why the College acted contrary to their circular and did not
\npermit the petitioner alone, while the other students were permitted to attend
\nthe classes from 13.08.2008 onwards.\n<\/p>\n
\t28.Since the petitioner was not permitted to attend the classes, he was
\nconstrained to approach this Court and got an interim order on 12.09.2008 to
\nattend the classes.  Thereafter, he was permitted to attend the classes from
\n16.09.2008.\n<\/p>\n
\t29.The aforesaid narration of facts would make it clear that the
\npetitioner could not be blamed for not attending classes from 26.06.2008 to
\n15.09.2008.  The other 5 students, who were similarly situated like the
\npetitioner, were permitted to attend the classes only from 13.08.2008 and they
\nwere also unjustly denied permission to attend the classes from 26.06.2008 to
\n13.08.2008.  When the petitioner had 21% of attendance for 7th semester and did
\nnot have 75% of attendance, the other 5 students could not have 75 % of
\nattendance, since they also did not attend the classes from 26.06.2008 to
\n13.08.2008.  But, they were certified that they attended 75% classes.  It is
\nstated that they were asked to attend special classes.  It is not known as to
\nwhy the same treatment was not given to the petitioner.  It is an admitted fact
\nthat all the students including the petitioner paid fees for 7th semester
\ncourse.  In my view, the petitioner could not be blamed for lack of attendance
\nin the said circumstances.  Had he been permitted to attend classes from
\n26.06.2008, he could  not have lacked in attendance.\n<\/p>\n
\t30.Not attending of classes between 26.06.2008 to  15.09.2008 was not due
\nto sickness or otherwise, but only in the aforesaid circumstances, for which the
\npetitioner could not be blamed.  Thus, this Court, in the said circumstances, by
\nan interim order in W.P.(MD) No.9770 of 2008, directed the respondents to permit
\nthe petitioner to appear for 7th semester examination.\n<\/p>\n
\t31.Even when the 8th semester commenced in the 1st week of December 2008,
\nwithout any reasons, the College refused permission to the petitioner to attend
\nthe classes.  The classes commenced on 03.12.2008.  When the matter was
\ncomplained, the University sent the letter dated 10.12.2008, directing the
\ncollege to permit the petitioner to attend the classes.  Thereafter only, the
\npetitioner was permitted to attend classed from 15.12.2008.  Fortunately, the
\nintervention of the University was immediate and therefore, there was no lack of
\nattendance.  In any event, though he had sufficient attendance, the University
\npassed the impugned order dated 06.04.2009, stating that the petitioner could
\nnot be permitted to appear in April 09 examinations for 8th semester, since the
\nresult of the 7th semester was yet to be published.\n<\/p>\n
\t32.Since the petitioner had sufficient attendance, the University is not
\ncorrect in passing the impugned order dated 06.04.2009.  Since the petitioner
\nhad sufficient attendance for 8th semester, the University should have permitted
\nhim to appear for the examination, particularly in the aforesaid circumstances.
\nIn any event,  this Court intervened by an interim order in W.P.(MD) No.3344 of
\n2009 and permitted the petitioner to take the 8th semester examinations.
\nHowever, this Court passed an order that the result would be subject to the
\nresult of the further orders of this Court.\n<\/p>\n
\t33.Considering the facts and circumstances, in my view, there is no
\nimpediment for directing the University to publish the results of 8th semester,
\nparticularly taking into account the aforesaid facts and taking into account the
\nfact that the student would not be blamed for any of the events.\n<\/p>\n
\t34.As far as the result of 7th semester is concerned, I have already
\ncategorically held that the petitioner was prevented from attending the classes
\nfrom 26.06.2008 to 15.09.2008.  The matter was complained to the University and
\nthe University sought for remarks as to why the petitioner was not permitted to
\nattend the classes.  The College did not choose to send their remarks.  The
\nUniversity directed the college to permit the petitioner to attend the classes.
\nThereafter, the Commissioner of Technical Education also issued a direction to
\npermit the petitioner to attend the classes.  Thereafter only, the College
\nissued a circular dated 13.08.2008, permitting all the 6 students to attend
\nclasses.  However, contrary to their circular, the petitioner alone was not
\npermitted to attend the classes, while 5 others were permitted.  The petitioner
\napproached this Court and got an interim order and thereafter only, he was
\npermitted to attend the classes from 16.09.2008.  Hence, the petitioner could
\nnot be blamed for lack of attendance and the lack of attendance was due to the
\nact of the college, by not permitting him to attend the classes from 26.06.2008
\nto 15.09.2008, arbitrarily.\n<\/p>\n
\t35.Taking into account the aforesaid facts, this Court gave an interim
\ndirection, directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to take the 7th
\nsemester examination, though the petitioner did not have sufficient attendance.
\nIn the aforesaid circumstances of the case, the result of the 7th semester could
\nnot also be withheld.  Already, the petitioner has suffered a lot.  The
\nstudents, who joined along with him, completed their course even in April 2009.
\nNow, he has lost two years in his career, for no fault of his.\n<\/p>\n
\t36.In the peculiar circumstances of the case and for the detailed reasons
\ngiven above and in the interest of justice, the respondent University is
\ndirected to publish the result of the 7th and 8th semester examination, for
\nwhich he appeared.  The results shall be published with in a period of two weeks
\nfrom the date of receipt of a copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n
\t37.The writ petitions are disposed of on the above terms. No costs.\n<\/p>\n
