Versus The Registrar, University of Mumbai & others. ... Respondents. Mr. Shankar P. Thorat with Mr. Arun D. Nagarjun and Ms.Daksha M. Shah for the Petitioners. Mr. Rui Rodrigues for the Respondents. CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 25TH APRIL, 2007. P.C.: 1. Learned Counsel appearing for the respondents, upon instructions from his clients, submitted that though the petitioners would hardly been entitled to any relief, in terms of the Circular issued by the University in 2003, a last chance would be given to the LL.M. students for clearing the exam 2 under the old system. However, without prejudice to their rights and contentions and to give all fair chance to the petitioners or other such candidates, who are not party to this petition but are still to complete their LL. M. Course and have not taken their examination, would be given two chances, namely, one in June, 2007 and last and final chance in November, 2007 irrespective to which year they belong. If, they fail to take a final examination of the LL.M. from the University, it would cancel their candidature and no further chance would be given. 2. In view of the statement made on behalf of the respondents, Counsel for the petitioners does not press this petition. 3. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of with a further direction to the University that it should duly publicise the statement made before this Court so as to put at notice of the candidates other than one before this Court in the present writ petition. However, we find that the stand of the University is not only fair but in fact is fully equated to ensure that last and 3 final chance is given to the failing candidates or the candidates who have not taken examination of the LL.M. Final year. 4. No costs. Sd/- CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.
