Respondents CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE VINEY MITTAL HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S. BHALLA PRESENT: Shri Kunal Dawar, Advocate for the petitioners. Viney Mittal,J.(Oral). Notice of motion to the respondents. On the asking of Court, Shri Ashish Rawal, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of Shri Anupam Gupta, Advocate for the respondents. Copies of the writ petition have been supplied to the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioners have approached this Court for issuance of directions to the respondent University to take into account the assignments submitted by them for the academic session 2005-06 and on that basis award them marks for internal assessment. In this regard, the learned counsel relies upon a decision taken by the University in the case of some other students, who according to the petitioners were similarly situated and with regard to whom the case for grant of internal assessment was re-considered by the University, CWP NO.19667 of 2006 -2- as noticed in the order dated August 22, 2006 passed in CWP No.10950 of 2006. For the redressal of the grievance, the petitioners have already filed a representation dated November 28,2006 (Annexure P.5) which remains unresponded so far. The learned counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners would be satisfied if, at this stage, the University authorities be directed to take a decision on the said representation filed by the petitioners. Keeping in view the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, we dispose of the present petition with a direction to the competent authority of Panjab University, respondent No.1 to take a final decision on the aforesaid representation (Annexure P.5) within a period of one month from the date a certified copy of this order is received. A copy of the order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. (Viney Mittal) Judge December 12, 2006 (H.S. Bhalla) KD Judge
