Joby John vs University Of Kerala on 19 December, 2008<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 17306 of 2007(I)\n\n\n1. JOBY JOHN, S\/O.P.C.JOHN, AGED 20 YEARS,\n                      ...

Justice ANTONY DOMINIC\n\n Dated :19\/12\/2008\n\n O R D E R\n                             ANTONY DOMINIC, J.\n                            ==============\n                   W.P.(C) NOs. 17306 & 30342 OF 2007\n                  ========================\n\n                Dated this the 19th day of December, 2008\n\n                                J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n
       Petitioner had joined for B.Tech Course in the Travancore<\/p>\n
Engineering College, Oyoor, Kollam District. Due to ailments, petitioner<\/p>\n
could not attend classes regularly and subsequently, while the petitioner<\/p>\n
was in the Vth Semester, he applied for transfer to the 4th respondent and<\/p>\n
joined that College.\n<\/p>\n
       2.      However, for the reason that the petitioner was short of<\/p>\n
attendance, the University did not issue hall ticket for the Vth Semester<\/p>\n
Examination and at that stage, the petitioner filed Writ petition before this<\/p>\n
court as WP(C) No.32199\/06. The writ petition was disposed of by<\/p>\n
judgment dated 5th December, 2006 with the following directions.<\/p>\n
       ” Writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to issue
\n        hall ticket and permit the petitioner provisionally to write the Vth
\n        Semester Examinations subject to the decision to be taken by the
\n        Syndicate on the petitioner’s application for condonation of
\n        shortage of attendance. 3rd respondent will place the application
\n        of the petitioner before the Syndicate for their decision in their
\n        next meeting” .\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is stated that in pursuance to Ext.P1 judgment, petitioner was permitted<\/p>\n
to appear for the Vth Semester examination, but however, as a decision on<\/p>\n
the request of the petitioner for condonation of the shortage of his<\/p>\n
WPC 17306 & 30342\/07
\n                                       :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n
attendance was not taken, his result was withheld.<\/p>\n
      3.     In the meantime, petitioner completed his VIth Semester<\/p>\n
course. When he made application for appearing in the VIth Semester<\/p>\n
examination, that was declined to be accepted, for the reason that his Vth<\/p>\n
Semester result was withheld. It is thereupon that the petitioner filed WP(C)<\/p>\n
No.17306\/07. At the admission stage, this Court passed order dated 6\/6\/07<\/p>\n
permitting the petitioner to provisionally write the VIth Semester<\/p>\n
Examination subject to further orders from this Court.               Accordingly,<\/p>\n
petitioner appeared for the examination and this result was also withheld.<\/p>\n
      4.     Along with the counter affidavit filed by the University, they<\/p>\n
have produced as Ext.R1(a), communication dated 28\/5\/2007, which reads<\/p>\n
as under.\n<\/p>\n
             As per the reference cited 1st above, the Examination committee at its
\n      meeting held on 10\/4\/2007 considered the matter and resolved that the
\n      condonation of shortage of attendance be not granted to Sri.Joby John,
\n      B.Tech Student(S) since he has attended only 28 working days during the 5th
\n      semester. It was also recommended that the candidate be directed to repeat
\n      the 5th semester. As per reference cited 2nd, the Syndicate has ratified the
\n      above decision of the Standing committee.\n<\/p>\n
      5.     According to counsel for the University, based on Ext.R1(a), Vth<\/p>\n
Semester examination undertaken by the petitioner has also been cancelled.<\/p>\n
When the University produced Ext.R1(a) referred to above, producing the<\/p>\n
WPC 17306 & 30342\/07
\n                                       :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n
same as Ext.P1 and seeking to get it quashed, the petitioner has filed WP(C)<\/p>\n
No.30342\/07. The contention that is raised by the counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
in relation to the validity of Ext.P5, which has been referred to as Ext.R1(a),<\/p>\n
in the counter affidavit filed by the University, is that the same reflects the<\/p>\n
decision of the Standing Committee of the examination and not that of the<\/p>\n
Syndicate.\n<\/p>\n
       6.    On the other hand, it is contended by the counsel for the<\/p>\n
University that the Syndicate had delegated its power to the standing<\/p>\n
committee and therefore the decision taken by the Standing Committee is<\/p>\n
perfectly justified.\n<\/p>\n
       7.    In the judgment in WP(C) NO.32199\/06, this Court had<\/p>\n
specifically directed that the decision on the petitioner’s     application for<\/p>\n
condonation of shortage of his attendance should be taken by the Syndicate<\/p>\n
itself. Admittedly, the decision has not been taken by the Syndicate, but by<\/p>\n
one of its standing committees.\n<\/p>\n
       8.    Section 23(xix) of the Kerala University Act confers power on the<\/p>\n
Syndicate to delegate any of its powers to the Vice Chancellor or to a<\/p>\n
Committee appointed from among its members. Though this Section<\/p>\n
provides for even total delegation of the powers of the Syndicate, this power<\/p>\n
WPC 17306 & 30342\/07
\n                                     :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n
of delegation is controlled by the provisions contained in the Kerala<\/p>\n
University First Statutes, 1977.\n<\/p>\n
      9.     The statute that is relevant are those contained in Chapter 6 of<\/p>\n
the Statute and Statute 3 (Clause xxviii) provides that the Syndicate has the<\/p>\n
power to refer any matter to a Faculty, a Board of Studies, a Board of<\/p>\n
Examiners or the Academic Council, the Students’ Council or any Committee<\/p>\n
or person, and to call for a report or opinion thereon. Therefore, though the<\/p>\n
Syndicate has the power to delegate any of its powers, since such power of<\/p>\n
delegation is controlled by the aforesaid provision in the University Statutes,<\/p>\n
Syndicate can only refer the matter to committee, call for its report or its<\/p>\n
opinion and decide the matter by itself. If that be the manner of exercise of<\/p>\n
power by the Syndicate, the question is whether, Ext.P5 reflects a proper<\/p>\n
exercise of power.\n<\/p>\n
      10.    A reading of Ext.P5 in WP(C) No.30342\/07 shows that the<\/p>\n
Examination Committee had resolved that condonation of shortage of<\/p>\n
attendance be not granted to the petitioner. Committee also recommended<\/p>\n
that the candidate be directed to repeat the Vth Semester.                The<\/p>\n
communication proceeds to state that as item No.92 of the meeting of the<\/p>\n
Syndicate held on 21\/4\/2007, “Syndicate has ratified the above decision of<\/p>\n
WPC 17306 & 30342\/07
\n                                     :5 :<\/span><\/p>\n
the Standing Committee”. Evidently, therefore the decision that is<\/p>\n
communicated to the petitioner is the decision of the Standing committee,<\/p>\n
which was only ratified by the Syndicate. Thus obviously, the Syndicate has<\/p>\n
surrendered its power to the Standing committee which is clearly<\/p>\n
impermissible.\n<\/p>\n
      11.   For    that  reason,  I   quash   Ext.P5,   produced  in   WP(C)<\/p>\n
No.30342\/07 and direct that the application for condonation of shortage of<\/p>\n
attendance made by the petitioner shall be considered by the Syndicate as<\/p>\n
directed by this Court in the judgment in WP(C) No.32199\/06. Necessarily,<\/p>\n
therefore, depending upon the decision to be taken, the validity or otherwise<\/p>\n
of the Vth and VIth Semester Examinations undertaken by the petitioner<\/p>\n
shall be taken by the University. A decision as above shall be taken by the<\/p>\n
Syndicate, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of receipt<\/p>\n
of a copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n
      Writ petitions are disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n
                                               ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
