The petitioners have already<\/p>\n<p>written the 1st &amp; 2nd semester examinations.                  The 3rd<\/p>\n<p>semester examination is declared to be held on 18th June<\/p>\n<p>2010, as per Ext.P1 press release which appeared on 25th<\/p>\n<p>May 2010. In the meanwhile, the results of the first<\/p>\n<p>semester examinations were announced but the results of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners are withheld without disclosing any reason<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioners. Further, the 1st semester examination for<\/p>\n<p>the subsequent batch for the year 2009-2011 is also<\/p>\n<p>announced to be held on 4th June, 2010, that too, on short<\/p>\n<p>notice, thereby denying the petitioners right to apply for<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 16576 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>revaluation, or re-appearing for improvement, or for writing<\/p>\n<p>the examination for the failed subjects if any. It is under the<\/p>\n<p>above circumstances, this writ petition is filed seeking the<\/p>\n<p>following reliefs:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      i)     To issue a direction to the 1st respondent university to<br \/>\n             publish the results of the 1st semester examination for<br \/>\n             M.Sc Information Technology course, written by the<br \/>\n             petitioners in the month of July 2009.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      ii)    Further consequent upon the publication of the results of<br \/>\n             1st semester examination under relief (i) direct the 1st<br \/>\n             respondent to re schedule the 1st semester examination<br \/>\n             declared under Ext.P1 for the 2009-2011 batch.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      iii)   Direct the 1st respondent university to fix the centre of<br \/>\n             examination of the petitioners for the 3rd semester<br \/>\n             examination by issuing necessary hall tickets relating to<br \/>\n             the same AND<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (iv)   Grant such other and further reliefs as are just and<br \/>\n             necessary to enable the petitioners to appear for the 3rd<br \/>\n             and 4th semester with out any hindrance by issuing<br \/>\n             appropriate orders in this regard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      2.    Subsequent to filing this writ petition, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners have also produced Ext.P9 extract from the<\/p>\n<p>website of the 1st respondent university, wherein the 2nd<\/p>\n<p>respondent college appears as one of the affiliated colleges<\/p>\n<p>of the university.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    The standing counsel on instructions submits that,<\/p>\n<p>the very same question was considered by a learned Judge<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 16576 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of this court in W.P.(C) No.33187\/2009 at the instance of<\/p>\n<p>the Principal and Manager of the institution, wherein<\/p>\n<p>identical reliefs have been denied by judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>19.11.2009. Ext.P9 is tried to be explained by the standing<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the university stating that, that was only an<\/p>\n<p>oversight in updating the list and the list also contains a<\/p>\n<p>disclaimer clause.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     I have considered the rival contentions in detail.<\/p>\n<p>The judgment in W.P.(C) 33187\/2009 reads thus:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Heard Sri. Baby Isaac Illikal, the learned counsel appearing for<br \/>\n      the petitioners. The petitioners in this writ petition who are the<br \/>\n      Principal and Manager of Siena College of Professional Studies,<br \/>\n      Edacochin has filed this writ petition seeking the following<br \/>\n      reliefs.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             i)    issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ<br \/>\n                   or order directing the respondents to<br \/>\n                   regularize the admission of students of<br \/>\n                   M.Sc. IT made by the petitioners during<br \/>\n                   2008;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             ii)   issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ<br \/>\n                   or order directing the respondents to issue<br \/>\n                   hall tickets and question paper to the<br \/>\n                   students of M.Sc. IT admitted during 2008<br \/>\n                   by the petitioners and thereby enable them<br \/>\n                   to complete the course;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             2.    The pleadings disclose that the Mahatma Gandhi<br \/>\n      University had granted provisional affiliation to the Siena<br \/>\n      College of Professional Studies to start various courses during<br \/>\n      the academic year 2002-03. For want of students, admissions<br \/>\n      were not made during that year for the B.C.A. degree course<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 16576 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      and the M.Sc. degree course in Information Technology.<\/p>\n<p>             3. On the application filed by the educational agency, the<br \/>\n      University permitted the college to start the courses during the<br \/>\n      academic year 2003-04. The courses were not started during<br \/>\n      the said academic year also. Instead, without the permission of<br \/>\n      the University, the College started making admissions for the<br \/>\n      said two courses from the academic year 2005-06 onwards.<br \/>\n      Since the admissions were made without the permission of the<br \/>\n      University, hall tickets were not issued to the students.<br \/>\n      Thereupon every year writ petitions were filed. W.P.(C).Nos.<br \/>\n      6254 of 2007 and 30478 of 2007 were filed during the year<br \/>\n      2007 and W.P.(C). No.5369 of 2009 was filed this year wherein<br \/>\n      interim orders were sought for a direction to the University to<br \/>\n      permit students admitted for the M.Sc. degree course in<br \/>\n      Information Technology without the approval of the University<br \/>\n      to appear for the provisional affiliation. The petitioners sought a<br \/>\n      direction to the University to permit students admitted for the<br \/>\n      M.Sc. degree course in Information Technology to appear for<br \/>\n      the examination.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>             4.     Though interim orders evidenced by Exts.P3, P4<br \/>\n      and P9 were passed permitting such students to appear for the<br \/>\n      M.Sc. degree examination in Information Technology on a<br \/>\n      provisional basis, later, the writ petitions were dismissed as<br \/>\n      withdrawn. It is evident from Ext.P1 order passed by the<br \/>\n      Mahatma Gandhi University that provisional affiliation for one<br \/>\n      year was granted for the M.Sc. degree course in Information<br \/>\n      Technology during the academic year 2002-03.              As stated<br \/>\n      earlier, the said course was not started in that year. Thereafter<br \/>\n      the educational agency sought the permission of the University<br \/>\n      to commence the course. The University granted permission for<br \/>\n      the academic year 2003-04. During the said year also,<br \/>\n      admissions were not made. Thereafter, even without affiliation<br \/>\n      and without the permission of the University, the college<br \/>\n      authorities made admission during the academic year 2005-06.<br \/>\n      Even thereafter the college authorities did not apply for<br \/>\n      affiliation for the M.Sc. degree course. Though an application<br \/>\n      for affiliation is said to have been filed, no material is produced<br \/>\n      in this writ petition to show that the educational agency has<br \/>\n      applied for grant of affiliation for the M.Sc. degree course in<br \/>\n      Information Technology. In such circumstances, having regard<br \/>\n      to the fact that admissions were made without affiliation and<br \/>\n      that the petitioner has been consistently filing writ petitions and<br \/>\n      withdrawing the writ petitions after interim orders permitting<br \/>\n      students of their college to appear for the examination on a<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 16576 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      provisional basis, I am satisfied that the petitioners are not<br \/>\n      entitled to any relief in exercise of the discretionary jurisdiction<br \/>\n      vested in this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of<br \/>\n      India. I therefore declare jurisdiction and dismiss the writ<br \/>\n      petition. &#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    I can only sympathise with the petitioners. When<\/p>\n<p>this court categorically denied the very same reliefs at the<\/p>\n<p>instance of the Principal and Manager of the school, unless<\/p>\n<p>that judgment is set aside, I do not think that at the<\/p>\n<p>instance of the students, I can grant the same reliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the remedy of the petitioners lies in challenging<\/p>\n<p>that judgment appropriately. Therefore without prejudice<\/p>\n<p>to that right this writ petition is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                                            S.
