B.N.MANDAL UNIVERSITY , Laloo Nagar, Madhepura though its Vice Chancellor 2. Registrar, B N Mandal University, Madhepura 3. Examination Controller, B N M University, Madhepura 4. Principal, K S College, Birpur, Supaul ………..Respondents ----------- 02- 1.5.2009 Heard Mr. Kumar Ravi Shankar for the petitioner, and learned Assistant Counsel to Mr. Hemendra Prasad Singh for the respondent University and its functionaries. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent University for declaration of his results of B.A.English (Hons.) examinations of which were held in 1997. 2. We have perused the material on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. From a perusal of Annexure-3, photocopy of the final result of the examination, it appears that the petitioner seems to have appeared in the Part II examination papers, but his marks are not stated therein. Annexure 3A is a photocopy of the tabulation register. It appears to us that he did not appear in the Part II examination as a result of which his results could not be included in the list of the successful candidates. The examination had concluded in June 1998, and soon thereafter the results were published while the present writ petition was lodged in this Court on 3.12.2008. The writ petition suffers from unexplained - 2 - delay, laches, negligence and acquiescence. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
