CWP No. 13215 of 2003 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CM No. 5786 of 2011 and CWP No. 13215 of 2003 Date of decision: 29.9.2011 Rekha Rani ..Petitioner Versus Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak ..Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. Sandeep Singh, Advocate for the applicant-petitioner. Mr. Anurag Goyal, Advocate for the respondent- University. RAJIVE BHALLA, J. (ORAL) CM No. 5786 of 2011 Prayer in this application is to decide the writ petition as the petitioner has completed her course but her result is withheld on account of pendency of the writ petition. Counsel for the parties state that they have no objection if the writ petition is taken on board and decided. Ordered accordingly. CWP No. 13215 of 2003 Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was denied admission to the B.Ed course as there was a shortfall in the fee deposited by the petitioner. Vide order dated 10.2.2004, the CWP No. 13215 of 2003 (O&M) 2 petitioner was granted provisional admission and the respondent- University was directed to accept the fee offered by the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that as the petitioner has completed her course and as she was, otherwise, eligible, the writ petition may be allowed and the respondent-University may be directed to declare the petitioner's result. Counsel for the respondent-University submits that as there was a shortage of Rs.5000/-, in the fee deposited by the petitioner, the University was justified in declining admission. I have heard counsel for the parties, perused averments in the petition and am satisfied that admission was wrongly declined. The fee deposited by the petitioner was short by Rs.5000/-. The University could have easily asked the petitioner to deposit the balance fee and granted her a few days' time for this purpose. The approach of the University in treating a poor student, to say the least, is insensitive. The petitioner has completed her course but her result is withheld on account of pendency of the writ petition. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed, the respondent-University is directed to regularise the petitioner's admission and declare her result, within 15 days of the receipt of a certified copy of this order. 29.9.2011 ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) VK JUDGE
