WP(C) 5564/2006 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR MADAN B LOKUR HONBLE MR JUSTICE T. NANDAKUMAR SINGH This petition was taken up suo moto as a result of newspaper reports tha t the LL.B., examinations conducted by the Gauhati University were considerably delayed. Over the last several months the matter has been taken up from time to t ime. The Controller of Examinations of Gauhati University has now filed an af fidavit dated 27th September, 2010. This affidavit has been filed pursuant to ou r order dated 20th August, 2010 requiring the Gauhati University to file a chart giving the dates on which the semester as well as the annual examinations were held each year and the dates on which the results were declared each year. In the affidavit the required information has been submitted by the Gauhati Univ ersity up to 16th September, 2010. Learned counsel for the Gauhati University has drawn our attention to an earlier affidavit of the Academic Registrar attested on 9th February, 2010 wher ein the schedule for examinations of LL.B., in the five years as well as in the three years course has been indicated. Learned Amicus Curiae says that if this schedule is adhered to, no diffi culty will be faced by the students. We expect the Gauhati University to adhere to the schedule given by the Academic Registrar. We direct that such a calendar, as has been prepared for the year 2011, should be prepared for subsequent years also and well in advance. In the affidavit of the Controller of Examinations dated 27th September, 2010 it has been stated that in so far as the examination results are concerned , they will be declared within eight weeks from the completion of the last date of each examination. We expect the Gauhati University to adhere to the statement made in this affidavit not only in respect of the year 2011 but also in the subsequent years . The Gauhati University will of course make all efforts to secure the co- operation of the examiners so that the results are declared in time. Learned Amicus Curiae says that the Gauhati Bar Association has also res ponded in a very positive manner pursuant to the letter sent by the Gauhati Univ ersity and a list of sixteen volunteer examiners has been submitted to the Gauha ti University. We expect the Gauhati University to requisition their services sh ould it become necessary. No further order is required to be passed in this matter. The petition stands disposed of.
