RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, J -------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.16738 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of June 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners have approached this court seeking to set aside Exts.P2 to P7 and to direct the respondents to publish the result of the 7th semester examination of B.Tech Degree course in Computer Science and Engineering. 2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents submits on instruction that, this is a case of serious malpractice; that an and inquiry was ordered and that further steps will be pursued and finalised within the shortest possible time. 3. Considering the hardships caused to the petitioners, as put forth by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also on hearing the submissions of the learned counsel for the University, this Court finds that the proceedings, if any, with regard to the alleged involvement of the petitioners have to be taken to the logical conclusion at the earliest, lest the course and career of the petitioners should be adversely affected. 4. In the said circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the University to complete the proceedings with respect to the aforesaid inquiry and pass appropriate orders, finalising the W.P.(C) No.16738/2011 2 same in respect of the grievance of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 'one month' from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the Writ Petition before the University for taking further steps. vdv P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE
