SRI.M.RAJAGOPALAN NAIR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C.NO. 31417 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of December, 2006 JUDGMENT The prayer in the Writ Petition is for a direction to the third respondent to publish final year LL.B. examination results for the five- year and three-year courses. Standing counsel for the University submitted that Lok Ayukta directed that results of supplementary examinations of 4th year also to be published along with final year LL.B. results. Final year results are ready for publication, but are held up only because 4th year examination results are not ready, is the contention of standing counsel for the University. On going through the Lok Ayukta order produced in this Court, I do not find any prohibition is introduced against publication of final year LL.B. results as they are ready. On the other hand, the direction is to publish fourth year supplementary examination results without any delay and if available along with final year LL.B. results. In any case so far as students who have passed 4th year examinations, publication of results of supplementary examinations of fourth year has no relevance at all. 2 In the circumstances, and in the interests of students who have passed fourth year examinations, there will be direction to the third respondent to publish final year LL.B. examination results immediately. However, University should also publish the results of supplementary examinations of fourth year also without any delay as directed by Lok Ayukta. W.P. is disposed of as above. Issue photocopy tomorrow itself. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 3
