Present: Mr. Amit Dhawan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amrit Paul, Advocate for respondent Nos. 2 to 4. --- Hemant Gupta, J. (Oral) The petitioner has invoked the writ jurisdiction of this Court to claim that the petitioner has qualified in the B-Pharmacy Course having obtained 40% marks. Earlier, the Regulations contemplated 50% marks as qualifying marks, for qualifying B-Pharmacy Course. But by virtue of amendment on 26.10.2004, the qualifying marks were reduced to 40%. The question arose whether the students who were admitted before the amendment in the regulations i.e. prior to 26.10.2004, have to obtain 40% qualifying marks or 50% as the qualifying marks. A Division Bench of this Court in CWP No.7087 of 2007 titled as Manpreet Kaur versus State of Punjab and others decided on 10.09.2007 (Annexure P-4) has held that 40% qualifying marks would be applicable in respect of students admitted ever prior to amendment carried out on 26.10.2004. C.W.P. No.20184 of 2008 - 2 - In view of the said judgment, we allow the present writ petition and direct the respondents to declare the revised result of the petitioner in terms of the amendment made forthwith.
