IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP. No. 7506 of 2010 Date of Decision: 28.4.2010. Raman Tanwar --Petitioner Versus Panjab University through its Registrar --Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. Present:- Mr. P.K. Garg, Advocate for the petitioner. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) The petitioner is a student of 2nd semester of L.LB course. In the year 2009 he could not appear in the 2nd semester final examination on account of shortage of 81 lectures. He again got admission in the same semester i.e. 2nd semester for which the classes commenced on 4.1.2010. Unfortunately, this time also the petitioner has shortage of 93 lectures out of 252 and even in individual subjects of Constitutional Law and Family Law petitioner has shortage of lectures. On account of shortage of lectures, he has not been granted roll number for appearing in the 2nd semester final examination. Petitioner is seeking condonation of shortage on the basis of a medical certificate placed on record as Annexure P-1. From the aforesaid certificate, it appears that the petitioner did approach the hospital with the complaint of migrane. He remained admitted in the hospital as indoor patient for about 5 days in December, 2009. Thereafter, he visited O.P.D. On that basis it is contended that petitioner is entitled to condonation of shortage of lectures. CWP. No. 7506 of 2010 -2- It is not deemed appropriate to rely on the aforesaid medical evidence lest it may prejudice the cause of the petitioner. Suffice it to say that there is no valid basis for condoning the lectures. In any case, it is not for this Court to go into the details of this issue and it is for the competent authority to examine the question. I find no merit in this petition, which is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to approach the competent authority, if, so advised. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 28.4.2010. lucky
