THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATIONS, KANNUR UNIVERSITY, (MANGATTUPARAMBA, KANNUR DISTRICT). BY ADV. SRI.M.SASEENDRAN,SC FOR KANNUR UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO.17172 OF 2007 - T ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioners complain of undue delay in publication of results of the examinations of the IIIrd and IVth Semesters for the Post Graduate Diploma in Fashion Designing conducted by the Kannur University. The petitioners submit that the IIIrd Semester Examination was conducted two years ago and the IVth Semester Examination ten months ago. According to the petitioners, this culpable delay on the part of the University is unpardonable. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned Standing Counsel for the University. 3. Standing Counsel for the University submits that the result of the IIIrd Semester Examination has already been published and the result of the IVth Semester Examination would be published within one month. This submission is recorded. But, I remind the University about the necessity to publish results of not only this examination but all examinations also expeditiously. The delay of two years in publication of results of an examination is by any stretch of imagination unpardonable on the part of the University. I further direct the University to see that results of all examinations conducted by the University are published within a reasonable time. Learned counsel for the petitioner also seeks a direction to the University to issue mark lists of the petitioners, urgently. I hope that the University would not be lax at least in the matter of issue of mark lists to the students. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, Judge Mbs/
