IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16863 of 2008 SANGITA KUMARI . Versus B.N.MANDAL UNIVERSITY & ORS . ----------- 2/ 30/07/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims to be a student of B.A. English (Hon) Course in the S.A.K.N. Degree College, Kriti Nagar, Madhepura affiliated to the B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura and appeared in the examination held in July, 1994. Her mark-sheet is stated to have been issued to her on 26.5.1997. There is a long silence in the petition from 1997 when it is asserted that on 24.11.2006 i.e. 12 years after the petitioner had appeared in the examination she applied by deposit of necessary fee for her original certificate and has pursued the matter with representations thereafter. Undoubtedly, there has been some delay on the part of the petitioner, but then she has been pursuing the matter from 2006 before the authorities. If the petitioner has been issued a mark-sheet for having passed the course, the University is naturally expected to grant her the original certificate. The application is disposed with the direction - 2 - that if the petitioner represents with a copy of the present order within six weeks, the University shall endeavour after location of its records to give her the original certificate within a maximum period of six months from that date. Should the University propose not to give her the certificate raising issues, it shall have to adequately deal with the issuance of the mark-sheet to the petitioner by a reasoned and speaking order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
