SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 36185 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner joined the MA(History) Post Graduate degree course of Calicut University. After the first and second semesters, petitioner discontinued studies to do her B.Ed at Government College of Teacher Education, Thiruvananthapuram. After completing the same, she returned and filed an application seeking re-admission to the third semester which was due to commence on 16.09.08. However by Ext.P2 letter the University informed the petitioner that the last date for applying for re-admission in MA(History) was 23.09.08 and the petitioner had applied subsequent to that date. Since the petitioner's petition in this regard did not yield any result the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking the following relief: “i. writ of mandamus directing the respondents to give re-admission to the petitioner to the third semester of MA(History) PG Course forthwith in Calicut University to enable her to complete the course this academic year itself;” 2. Counsel for the petitioner is not present. The learned counsel appearing for the University submits that the third semester WPC :36185/08 -:2:- which started on 16.09.08 is almost over, if not already over. In any event considerable portion of the semester is already over. Therefore, there is no point in considering the petitioner's request now. Therefore without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to apply for re-admission again when the third semester of the regular studies starts, this writ petition is closed, provided, re-admission is still permissible as per the University Regulations was in force.
