RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS : NIL ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 24221 of 2011 C ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 30th day of September, 2011 J U D G M E N T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Petitioner had undergone B.Ed course during the period 1995-96. She did not appear for the examination. It appears that, recently, the University announced a mercy chance to students who have completed the course prior to 2006 admission. Petitioner sought an opportunity to appear for the examination. That now stands turned down by the University and it is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. 2. Standing Counsel has obtained instructions and submits that, those who have completed the course prior to 2004 were given a mercy chance in January, 2010 and the petitioner did not avail of that opportunity. It is submitted that the present notification, which provides opportunity to those who have completed the course prior to 2006 admission, refers to those who have completed the course W.P.(C) No.24221/2011 : 2 : from 2004 onwards. It is stated that, from 2004, there was a syllabus change also. 3. The stand taken by the University is certainly a plausible one and, therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter. 4. However, it will be open to the petitioner to pursue Ext.P4 representation filed before the third respondent. Writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks/30/09 // True Copy // P.A.
