THE PRINCIPAL ADARSH COLLEGE GHAILAR JIWACHHPUR, MADHEPURA ----------- 2. 01.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner came to this Court earlier with a prayer for re-totaling of his answer books of Political Science (Honours) part III. This Court in CWJC No. 5206 of 2008 directed accordingly when the order in M.J.C. No. 3627 of 2008 displays adequate compliance. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has secured more than 45% marks in each paper and, therefore, is entitled to be declared as having passed. Counsel for the University submits that according to the Regulations candidate is required to obtain individually over 45% in each year of each paper in the Honours course. These are academic matters to be decided by the academician in accordance with the regulations governing academics. If the petitioner so wishes, he may represent staking his claim from the relevant provisions of the regulations and only in that event the University is obliged to consider his representation and dispose the same by a reasoned and speaking order. 2 It is expected that the Vice Chancellor shall adequately ensure that any representation of the petitioner is disposed off expeditiously.
