J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a 4th year M.B.B.S student. She failed in the 2nd year M.B.B.S examination in one paper by nine marks in theory paper and two marks in the practical examination. Since she had failed in the practical examination she could not apply for revaluation. Supplementary examination for 2nd year examination is to commence on 2.7.2008. In the meanwhile, since the final year examination has been scheduled, the petitioner wants to write the final year examination also, without passing the 2nd year examination. The rule to the effect that for appearing for the final examination, all papers in the previous examination should also have been passed, stands in the way of the petitioner. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed Ext.P3 representation before the 3rd respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the University also. W.P.(C).No. 16967 OF 2008 2 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. But I hasten to add that, I have not considered the eligibility of the petitioner to write the final year examination without passing the previous examination on merits and the 3rd respondent shall decide the matter strictly in accordance with the Rules. The writ petition is disposed of as above. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 3rd respondent for compliance.
