Nursing 2nd year have inadvertently been issued by the office as they are not eligible to appear in the 2nd year examination because of the reason that they have not passed their Ist year Examination of B.Sc. Nursing.” Civil Writ Petition No.14526 of 2010 2 3. On a specific query of the court, learned counsel for the petitioners admits that the petitioners have reappear in the Ist year examination of B.Sc. Nursing. Learned counsel for the petitioners concedes that under the rules, the petitioners are not eligible to appear in the 2nd year examination. 4. In view of the above, the writ court is not inclined to go into the intricacy/hyper-technical objection re: competence of authority which has issued the communication (Annexure P-3). 5. Surely, an ineligible candidate cannot be allowed to appear in a higher examination. Extra ordinary writ jurisdiction, under the circumstances, cannot be invoked. 6. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed in limine. August 16, 2010 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
