To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................... W.P.(C).23301/2011 ....................... Dated this the 2nd day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioners are students of S.N.College, Chempazhanthy, Thiruvananthapuram which is affiliated to the first respondent University. They were issued memos similar to Exts.P1 and P2 alleging certain misconducts. It appears that an enquiry was conducted and finally they were issued Ext.P3 and similar other orders expelling them from the College. It was at that stage the writ petition was filed challenging their expulsion. 2. Students who are aggrieved by such proceedings have a remedy before the Board of Adjudication of Students Grievances constituted by the first respondent University in terms of the provisions contained in Chapter 36 of the University First Statues, 1977. Along with I.A.14662/2011 petitioners have produced Ext.P6 petition filed by them before the aforesaid authority. It is stated that orders have not been passed on the said application also. 3. Heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents 1 and 2 also. W.P.(C).23301/11 2 4. Now that the petitioners have taken recourse to the statutory remedy available to them by filing Ext.P6 before the Board of Adjudication of Students Grievances, I direct the first respondent, who is also the Chairman of the Board, to consider Ext.P6 in accordance with the procedure laid down by the University. Final orders in the matter shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. It is directed that before orders are passed, notice shall be given to the parties concerned. 5. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition and I.A.14662/2011 before the first respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
