SHAJI, SC FOR M.G. UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.384 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner wants to appear for the 10th semester LLB Examination. However, the University has not permitted him to appear for the Examination for the reason that he has not cleared one of the papers of the 6th semester Examination. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has already appeared for the Supplementary Examination held in October 2008 and that the University has not announced the results so far. It is stated that in the meanwhile the 10th semester Examination is to commence on 08/01/2009 and therefore pending announcement of the Supplementary Examination results he should be permitted to appear for the said Examination. 3. In terms of the regulations of the University, if a student does not clear the previous semesters, which in this case is the 6th semester, he will not be permitted to appear in the 10th semester Examination. Therefore, the fact that the petitioner has appeared for the Supplementary Examination, will not entitle the petitioner to WP(C) No.384/2009 -2- appear for the Examination ignoring the regulations framed by the University. 4. Be that as it may, now that the petitioner has already appeared for the Supplementary Examination, I direct the University to finalise the valuation and declare the result as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months. But, that does not mean that the petitioner can be permitted to appear for the Examination in relaxation of the regulations framed by the University. Further this issue has already been decided by this Court in the judgment in WP(C) No.36362/2008. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
