THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.25811 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners joined B.Ed course in the academic year 2008-09 in Sri Sankara’s College of Education, Kunool affiliated to the 1st respondent-University. On completion of the course, they have appeared in the examination. The university declared the results of that examination. However, the results of the petitioners were withheld on the ground that the college fell in arrears of fee or other amount payable to the university. The petitioners challenge the action of the 1st respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the University. There is no dispute that the affiliation of the college, in which the petitioners studied, was in force for the academic year 2008-09. Once the college is affiliated and the students who studied in it have appeared in the examinations, the university has no option but to declare the results. In case, there was any lapse or dereliction on the part of the college, steps ought to have been taken either for refusal of its affiliation or for cancellation of the existing affiliation. Therefore, the action of the 1st respondent in withholding results of the petitioner cannot be sustained in law. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the 1st respondent is directed to release the results of the petitioners for the B.Ed. examination conducted for the batch that joined in the academic year 2008-09 and issue the marks lists. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.11.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.25811 of 2009 Date: 27.11.2009 JSU
