As per the regulations of the University, unless the students have cleared all subject of semesters 1 to 6, they cannot appear for the 10th semester examination. Petitioner do not satisfy this requirement and therefore he apprehend that he will not be permitted to appear for the examination which is scheduled to commence from 11th October, 2010. 2. He states that in the previous years this requirement was relaxed by the University and therefore petitioner has made Exts.P2 representation to the Vice Chancellor requesting for similar relaxation to this year also. Representation is pending and it is at that stage the writ petition is filed. 3. I heard the Standing Counsel for the University. Although, the standing counsel attempted to distinguish the case of the petitioner, and contended that he is not eligible to the benefit of parity with the beneficiaries of Ext.P1 order issued by the WPC.No. 30714/2010 :2 : University, having regard to the pendency of Exts.P2 representation, I direct that the second respondent shall consider Exts.P2 representation and a decision in this behalf shall be taken, at any rate before 11.10.2010, the date on which the 10th semester examination is scheduled to commence. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
