IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13642 of 2009 ANUBHAV CHAMARIA Versus VEER KUNWAR SINGH UNIVERSITY & ORS. ----------- 2. 28.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the veer Kunwar Singh University. The relief claimed is for publication of the third year result of the degree examination in accounts (Honours.) of the petitioner. It is the specific case of the petitioner that he has cleared all main and subsidiary papers of the first year and second year course. He has now appeared in the third year examination also and despite deposit of the necessary amount of fees his third year result has not been declared and published. He has cleared them successfully. At this stage, this Court does not consider it necessary to take note of the submissions on behalf of the petitioner that he was required wrongly to appear twice at the second year examination which he was successful also. All those matters can appropriately to be considered by the Vice- Chancellor in terms of the direction contained hereinafter. It is not in controversy that it is the University which has declared the first and second year result of the petitioner and allowed the petitioner to sit at the third year examination. The law stand well settled by the Supreme Court in Judgments reported in A.I.R. 1976 SC 376 reiterated in 2 2009(1) SCC 610, that once the candidate has been allowed by the University to appear at the examination, the results are bound to be published. It is only in case of fraud etc. that the situation may be otherwise. This writ application is therefore disposed with directions to the Vice-Chancellor of the respondent University to examine the claims of the petitioner in light of the law as discussed above and pass appropriate orders for publication of the third year result of the petitioner in accordance with law within a maximum period of one months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this Court before him. If the Vice-chancellor proposes to hold that the petitioner is not entitled to the publication of the result, the Vice-Chancellor shall be obliged to furnish the reasons in writing to the petitioner, grant him a personal hearing and then pass a reasoned and speaking order to facilitate judicial review, should the need arise for the same. The writ application stands disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
