THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 19940 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 24th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are B. Tech. Civil Engineering (old scheme) students. They appeared for the supplementary examination for Mathematics IV paper in September-October, 2007. They could not write the examination properly because, according to them, out of 140 marks, questions for 100 marks were out of syllabus. The petitioners' grievance is that the next examination would be held only after a year. Therefore, they would lose valuable time of their future. They have, therefore, submitted a representation before the University for conducting a re-examination. The petitioners seek the following reliefs in this writ petition: “(i) Issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondent to conduct a re-examination for the petitioners for the fourth semester B. Tech (Engineering) 401 Mathematics IV old scheme at the earliest. (ii) Issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondent University to hear the petitioners and consider their representations to conduct the re-examination for the 401 Mathematics IV Examination at the earliest.” 2. Learned standing counsel, on instructions, submits that in respect of this examination, since there was some questions out of syllabus, 30 marks have been granted to all students and therefore there is no question of conducting a re-examination and certain candidates had, in fact, passed the examination also. He would submit that the University proposes to conduct the next examination without much delay. In the above circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The next examination shall be conducted within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall be allowed to participate in that examination. It goes W.P.C. No. 19940/2008. -: 2 :- without saying that the petitioner shall submit their applications and pay examination fees for the same. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
