C.W.P. No. 19486 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 19486 of 2008 Decided on : 10-03-2009 Prabhjot Singh ....Petitioner VERSUS Panjab University & others ....Respondents CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA. Present:- Mr. G.S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ashish Rawal, Advocate for respondent No.1. AJAI LAMBA, J Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to dispute the legal position that the petitioner is not entitled to any more condonation of lectures, even after the respondents have exercised their discretion of condoning 50 lectures. In the above given set of circumstances, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is a studious student and has fared well in the examinations taken by him in Ist Semester and therefore, a lenient view ought to be taken by this Court. I have considered the contention. C.W.P. No. 19486 of 2008 -2- From para 5 of the written statement, it transpires that the claim of the petitioner that he has an outstanding academic record, is not made out. In M.B.A., 1st Semester, the petitioner got reappear in the subject 'Economics for Management' (M.B.A. 501). The petitioner could pass another subject 'Quantitative Methods & Management Techniques' (MBA 502) only after getting one grace mark. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to draw the attention of the Court towards any rule or regulation which would entitle the petitioner to condonation of shortage in lectures. Considering what has been stated in the written statement, I am of the opinion that the bona fide endeavour of the petitioner to pursue academic career is in doubt and the petitioner is not entitled to relief in extraordinary writ jurisdiction. Petition is accordingly dismissed. 10th March, 2009. (Ajai Lamba) Monika Judge
