IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13862 of 2009 SANTOSH KUMAR SINGH Versus PATNA UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Y.V.Giri,Sr. Advocate with Mr Raju Giri & V.R.Bharti, Advocates For the University: Mr Ajay Kumar Sinha, Advocate --------- 2. 03.11.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the University. The petitioner is a student of the Patna University in the B.Sc. Engineering (Civil Engineering and Extream) course for the Sessions 2003-2007. After creation of the NIT he is stated to be the last batch of students attending such course in the Patna University. It is submitted that he appeared at the remaining seven papers in the final examination but was unable to appear in the Elective (Pre-stressed concrete) and Advance Environmental Engineering held on 24.4.2009 on account of certain health issues. Learned Counsel submits that if defines reasoning as to why the petitioner would leave only one paper when he appeared in the papers prior to the same and thereafter. It is additionally submitted that he is lone student in the Elective (Pre-stressed concrete) and Advance Environmental Engineering subject. There is thus no difficulty in holding a fresh examination by the University in the said subject. Learned Counsel for the University apart from urging certain other issues submitted that he does not even have instruction if the results of the course have been published or not. Since the issue relates to academics and holding of examinations this Court does not consider it prudent to enter into that arena specially when no claim founded on statutory rules and rights are being canvassed. The matters of academics and examinations are best left to the University to ensure compliance with standards. This writ application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner approaches the Vice Chancellor in respect of his grievance the Vice chancellor may consider the same expeditiously in accordance with law. Let the same be done at an early date and expeditiously keeping all issues in mind including the submissions made on behalf of the University. It shall be open to the Vice Chancellor to delegate this decision to any other Senior University functionary in his discretion if he considers necessary. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
