IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15249 of 2010 RAJEEV RANJAN . Versus THE V.C.,PATNA UNIVERSITY & OS . ----------- 2. 24.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The relief prayed is for admission to the course of M.A. in Mathematics. It is submitted that the last date for submission of application form was 30.6.2010. It is submitted that in the second year of the Honours course the petitioner had failed in the paper of Statistics and his third year results were withheld on that ground. He was therefore ineligible to apply till he did not get his 3rd year result. His form for admission in the MA course is stated to have been accepted on 19.6.2010 as defective. The results for the second year Statistics papers were published on 25.6.2010 and the final 3rd year Honours results made available to the petitioner on 17.7.2010. He sent it by post to the University on account of strike. The merit list has been published on 23.8.2010 and the counselling had commenced. Counsel for the University submits that admissions are over in the course of M.A. (Mathematics) and seats may not be available. The petitioner on his 2 own showing was not eligible to apply till 17.7.2010. A defective application was no application. No statutory provisions have been cited in support of the claim made on behalf of the petitioner. This Court, therefore, finds it difficult to pass any positive order either ways. Any delay by requiring counter affidavit etc. may only further prejudice the case of the petitioner as classes are stated to have commenced. The petitioner appears to have approached this Court directly without first ventilating his grievance before the Vice Chancellor. Let the petitioner represent before the Vice Chancellor. This Court requests the Vice Chancellor to consider the grievance of the petitioner in a broader prospective with regard to examinations held in time or not, results published in time or not, inclusive of availability of seats in the course of M.A. (Mathematics). Let such consideration be done and appropriate final order passed within a maximum period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
