THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.15971 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of JUNE, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a MCA student under the fourth respondent's school which is affiliated to the first respondent University. He joined in the year 2006. The course is spread over the period of three years and consists of six semesters. He attended four semesters during the first two years and appeared for the examination under the old scheme. But due to shortage of attendance, he could not attend the Vth Semester examination and therefore, he was re-admitted by the fourth respondent for the Vth Semester course under the old scheme as is evident from Ext.P3, is the petitioner's contention. But Ext.P2 hall ticket has been issued to the petitioner directing him to attend the Vth Semester examination under the new scheme. He would submit that since he has undergone the first 4 semesters under old scheme and undergone course for Vth Semester also under old scheme, it would be unjust to direct him to write the examination W.P.(c)No.15971/10 2 under the new scheme. 2. In the above circumstances, the 4th respondent has filed Ext.P3 petition before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 3. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the University, who opposes the prayer. According to him, the petitioner has been allowed to continue studies for the Vth Semester only under the new scheme. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
