J U D G M E N T The petitioners are students of 4th year B.Sc Nursing course, in the 3rd respondent Centre. Aggrieved by Exhibit P7 circular, which prevented them from attending classes for not clearing 1st year's papers, this writ petition was filed. By the interim order passed on 18.02.2009, they are continuing in the classes, provisionally. 2. It is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the M.G.University that in the light of the decision of the Academic Council dated 23.01.2010 amending the relevant regulations, the petitioners are entitled to appear for the examinations and attend the classes. Pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court, they are attending the classes. Therefore, in the light of the interim order passed and also in the light of the subsequent developments, continuance in the course by the petitioners will be treated as valid. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
