They had appeared for the 3rd Year examination in January 2009. They have not passed the said examination. But in the meanwhile, they were permitted to prosecute their studies in the fourth year. They have approached this Court seeking a direction to the University to permit them to continue their studies in the fourth year till they are able to clear their failed subjects in the supplementary examination. A similar contention was raised before a Division Bench of this Court in W.A No.1342/2007, wherein, the Bench directed that the Court cannot permit a dilution of the regulations. In the instant case the regulations insist that the candidate should secure 50% marks in the theory and practical papers, taken separately and admittedly the petitioners have not secured the minimum marks. Regulations also insist that a student can prosecute his studies in the 4th year only W.P ( C) No.21824 of 2009 2 after clearing the subjects in the third year. I do not find my way to issue a direction to the University. Writ petition is bereft of merit and hence dismissed. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.21824 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No.21824 of 2009 4
