SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 18761 OF 2007 - H ------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner appeared for the IIIrd Semester examination of the M.A.Degree Examination conducted in March 2007. The results were declared on 9.6.2007. The petitioner's result was not, however, published. The petitioner submits that she was told by the University that she had passed in all subjects. However, the petitioner now understands that the result is withheld due to the reason that there is shortage of attendance. According to the petitioner, she had taken leave due to reasons beyond her control and medical certificates were also produced. After coming to know about the reason for non-publication of the results, the petitioner applied for condonation of shortage of attendance by Ext.P4. The petitioner now seeks consideration of Ext.P4, which the petitioner submits that the Principal has forwarded to the University. The petitioner seeks a direction to the Syndicate to consider the petitioner's application for condonation of WP(C) NO.18761 of 2007 :-2-: shortage of attendance, sympathetically, particularly taking into account the fact that the application for examination was forwarded to the University by the Principal without any objection and the petitioner has written the examination as well. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the University also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the Syndicate to consider the petitioner's case for condonation of shortage of attendance sympathetically, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the Syndicate decides to condone the shortage of attendance, the results of the petitioner's examination are also to be published without any further delay. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, Mbs/ Judge WP(C) NO.18761 of 2007 :-3-: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO.18761 of 2007 :-4-: W.P.(C) NO.
