JUDGMENT The petitioners are students of the First Semester LL.B. course in the Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram. According to them, after classes commenced on 13-11-2006, there were certain problems in the College which led to loss of working days followed by College Union elections which again took off instructional hours during the working hours. According to them, as a result of this, the petitioners did not get appropriate time to prepare for the First Semester LL.B. examination scheduled tomorrow. 2. The learned counsel for the University points out that the examination scheduled has been fixed by the competent authorities after ensuring that the relevant time WP(C)8478/07 -: 2 :- for completing the course in terms of the Regulations etc. is provided. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions from the 4th respondent, submits that total instructional hours, as is required in terms of the University Laws, have been complied with even by arranging additional classes and that the 4th respondent as the Principal and Head of the institution is satisfied of the fact that appropriate instructions have been completed in terms of the Law. In the aforesaid circumstances, I find no ground to grant the reliefs sought for. The writ petition fails. Dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/-
