No.1776 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 1st day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ramachandran Nair, J. The Writ Appeal is filed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge declining to accept appellant's prayer for a direction to the University to publish the results of B.Com Degree Examination written by him. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that the appellant has the attendance of only 79 days in the College as against the total of 180 working days, and the maximum condonable limit of absence is 24 days, which again is on genuine medical grounds. It is further submitted that several others have the same disability and they were not either allowed to write the examinations, and those, who are allowed to write the examinations based on the hall tickets issued by the Principal recklessly, results were W.A.No.1776/2010 -2- withheld. We completely agree with the stand of the University that unless the course study is completed, the students should not be allowed to write the examination. Even if the Principal committed an error in permitting the appellant to write the examination, we do not think the same binds the University because the Principal has no authority to exempt the appellant from the required attendance for writing the examination. Consequently, we dismiss the Writ Appeal. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) (BHABANI PRASAD RAY, JUDGE) jg
