Even though this court has upheld the examination regulations, the learned Standing Counsel submitted that there has been relaxation in the regulation permitting the students to write later examinations without passing earlier examinations. It is stated that petitioner wrote the examination under the interim orders and the results are published. In view of the relaxation in the examination regulation, I direct the University to consider petitioner's eligibility with reference to changed regulations, and, if petitioner is eligible at least as of law, treat the examination written by the petitioner as valid and declare result. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
