No.33349/2009-K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 5th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein completed M.B.A Course from the fourth respondent Institute during the period 2004-06. He is aggrieved by the non-consideration of his request for one more chance to write one paper of the First Semester M.B.A 2000 Scheme examination. 2. It is averred in the writ petition that the petitioner had written all the 22 papers contained in four Semesters and had passed 21 papers. He failed in one paper of the First Semester, namely, Quantitative Techniques for Management. It appears that the University had introduced a new scheme from the year 2006. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that even though he had applied for appearance in the supplementary examinations, that was not considered. The petitioner has already approached the Vice Chancellor by filing Ext.P2 representation and seeking for indulgence in the matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the first respondent may be directed to take a decision on Ext.P2 within a time frame. W.P.(C). No.33349/2009 -:2:- 4. There will be a direction to the first respondent- Vice Chancellor to take a decision on Ext.P2 representation filed by the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
