IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17924 of 2009 Date of Decision : December 01, 2011. Suvidha Oberoi .....Petitioner versus Periyar University, Bangalore and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Manoj Dhiman, Advocate, for Mr.I.P.S.Kohli, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The orders passed on different dates reveal that respondent No.3 is still unserved for want of complete address. In my considered view, the writ petition, having regard to the nature of relief sought, can be effectively disposed of at this stage without calling upon the respondents. The petitioner seeks a direction for declaration of result of her M.Phil (Mathematics) examination held in November-December 2007. As per the averments made in the writ petition, the petitioner got admission in M.Phil (Mathematics) in Periyar University, Bangalore through the Regional Centre of the said University located at Jalandhar. The petitioner's CWP No.17924 of 2009 [2] registration number was statedly 06DCCF2236. The petitioner is said to have appeared in the examination held in November-December, 2007 but her result has not been allegedly declared so far. The petitioner is said to have represented the Controller of Exams of the respondent-University on 25.9.2008 (Annexure P-5) followed by another representation dated 29.5.2009 (Annexure P-6) and then she served a legal notice dated 27.8.2009 (Annexure P-7) also. Finding no response and claiming that a part of the cause of action has accrued to the petitioner within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court, that she has approached this Court. The first respondent, namely, Periyar University, Bangalore as well as its Institute of Distance Education-respondent No.2 have been served and put in appearance but no reply has been filed by them despite sufficient opportunities. The alleged Regional Centre of the respondent- University at Jalandhar has apparently shifted its place and it has not been served despite more than one opportunities. In these circumstances when the University has not come up with any reply-affidavit nor has objected to the petitioner's claim that a part of the cause of action has arisen within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court, and also keeping in view the categoric averment of the petitioner that she got admission through the Regional Centre of the respondent-University located at Jalandhar (Punjab), I am of the considered view that the cause of action though in part did arise in favour of the petitioner within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. Hence, the writ petition is maintainable. Having regard to the nature of relief sought, however without CWP No.17924 of 2009 [3] expressing any views on the question as to whether the petitioner got admission in M.Phil (Mathematics) or she appeared in the examinations held in November-December 2007 as these questions are to be verified by the University, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Registrar as well as Controller of Exams of the respondent- University to ascertain the correct facts and communicate the result of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. December 01, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
