Mr.Vikram Sharma, Advocate for Mr.P.K.Mutneja, Advocate for respondent No.2. ***** Prayer in this petition is for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus, directing the respondents to declare the petitioner's result of B.Com Part-II, permit him to continue his studies of B.Com Part-III in the academic session 2011-2012, and sit for Computer Applications/Fundamentals in the B.Com Part-III examination. On 23.08.2011, after considering submissions made by counsel for the parties, following order was passed: - “Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner's result has been withheld as he did not clear the optional subject of Computer Applications/Fundamentals in B.Com Part-I. It is further submitted that the petitioner was Ist year student in Baring Union Christian College, Batala, District Gurdaspur, where this subject was taught as an optional subject in B.Com IInd year. After clearing B.Com Ist year from this college, the petitioner shifted to Khalsa College, Amritsar, in B.Com IInd year, where this subject was being taught in B.Com Ist year. The respondents have, however, withheld the petitioner's result of B.Com IInd year on the ground that he should have passed the paper of Computer Applications/Fundamentals in B.Com Ist year. An appraisal of the above facts, prima facie establishes that the petitioner is not at fault and should be allowed to appear in the above-mentioned optional subject in B.Com IIIrd year. Counsel for the University is directed to seek instructions. Adjourned to 02.09.2011.” CWP No.13898 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Counsel for the University-respondent No.1, submits that the petitioner's B.Com Part-II result shall be declared, he shall be allowed to sit in the B.Com Part-III classes and further permission to take the examination for Computer Applications/Fundamentals in B.Com Part- III shall be granted. Counsel for respondent No.2, submits that the college has no objection, to the statement made by counsel for the University. In view of the statements made by counsel for the respondents No.1 and 2, the present petition has been rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such, with a direction to the respondents to do the needful within 15 days from receipt of a certified copy of this order. 02.09.2011 [ RAJIVE BHALLA ] shamsher JUDGE
