IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 16047 of 2011. [O&M] Date of Decision: 13th December, 2011. Davender Maan Petitioner through Mr. Arshdeep Singh, Advocate Versus State of Haryana & Ors. Respondents through Mr. R.D.Sharma, DAG, Haryana. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 petitioner seeks a Mandamus to direct respondent No. 2 – Government Polytechnic, Manesar to mark his attendance for the classes attended by him as a student of Diploma in General Engineering. He also seeks a direction to the respondents to issue Roll Number and allow him to appear in the 5th Semester Examination. Vide an interim order dated 14.09.2011, it was directed that the petitioner's attendance be marked for the classes attended by him. The respondents have filed reply/affidavit explaining that in the 3rd Semester, the petitioner attended 52% of the delivered lectures as against the requirement of 80%, due to which he was not entitled to attend the 4th Semester classes or to appear in the examination. The fact of the matter is that despite there being alleged shortage in the lectures of 3rd Semester, he was admitted to the 4th Semester and he has appeared in the 4th Semester examination also. Thereafter, he is regularly attending the 5th Semester under the orders of this Court. Similarly, the petitioner was admitted in the 3rd Semester examination, though his result is yet to be declared. Since the disqualification attributed to the petitioner pertains to the lack of attendance in the 3rd Semester in whose examination he was permitted to appear by the respondents and there is no shortage of lectures in the subsequent semesters, i.e., 4th and 5th Semesters, I allow the writ petition and direct the respondents to declare the result of the petitioner for 3rd and 4th Semesters and in case he has attended the requisite lectures in the 5th Semester, to permit him to appear in the ensuing examination of the said Semester. Disposed of. Dasti. December 13, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
