JUDGMENT The petitioner is a student who is undergoing B.Tech. course in Bio Medical Engineering in the College of the Vth respondent which is a self financing college affiliated to the University of Calicut. The petitioner secured admission to the course during the year 2006-2007 pursuant to the allotment made by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. Even though she had been regular in attending the classes up to the Vth Semester, she could not attend classes regularly in the Vth Semester, as she had to avail maternity leave. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that she had appeared for all the examinations up to the Vth Semester. The petitioner thereafter approached the Principal and she was told that she has to seek re-admission to the Vth Semester. The petitioner accordingly made a representation before the second respondent seeking permission for her re-admission to the Vth Semester. The same was duly recommended and forwarded by the Principal. It is the case of the petitioner that she was allowed to attend the classes for Vth Semester anticipating sanction from the University. So far, wpc 37066/09 2 permission has not been issued. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition is filed. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for the University submitted that the petitioner’s request can be considered. 4. Therefore, there will be a direction to the second respondent to take a decision in the matter in the light of the recommendation made by the Principal as evidenced by Ext.P2 and after examining the various aspects, especially after considering the fact that the petitioner had been attending classes from July 2009. Appropriate decision will be taken within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the petitioner will be allowed to register for the Vth Semester Examination on remitting the necessary fee, etc. and accordingly she will be allowed to write the examination. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
