He appeared for the IIIrd semester examination which commenced on 20.4.2010. On 26.4.2010, the Invigilators of the University inspected the centre and seized the hall tickets and answer papers of the students on the allegation that with the assistance of the authorities of the centre, students have indulged in mass copying.

It is also clarified that the students shall be given an opportunity of hearing, if it is permissible under the regulation of the University. Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
