SHAJI, SC, M.G.UNIVERSITY FOR R1 & 2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.8925 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 31st day of March, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner is a MCA student, who has completed 4th semester, studying in the 3rd respondent college. The prayer sought for in this writ petition is to direct the respondent to publish the results of the petitioner, of the first, second and 3rd semester examinations and issue mark lists and regularize the admission without further delay. 2. Standing counsel on instructions submits that BCA degree on the basis of which the petitioner has secured the admission is not a recognized one and it was therefore that the results have been withheld. It is stated that to regularize the admission the petitioner should make an application to the University to recognize the degree and until that is done the petitioner cannot seek the reliefs now WP(c).No.8925/09 /2/ sought for. 3. Having heard the counsel on either side I am inclined to agree with the counsel appearing for the respondent University. Since the degree possessed by the petitioner is an unrecognized one, petitioner cannot insist the University to declare his results or regularize the admission. 4. Therefore, at this stage, the option available to the petitioner is to get the degree recognized and for that purpose petitioner has to make an application to the University. This the petitioner may do and it is directed that if such a request is received form the petitioner the same shall be considered and orders be passed by the Academic Council. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the said application. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.8925/09 /2/
