NIL RESPONDENT'S EXHIBIBITS :NIL //True copy// PA to Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------- W.P(C) No. 25095 of 2011 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 22nd day of September , 2011. JUDGMENT Petitioner was a B.Ed. - Mathematics student in the 3rd respondent. When she completed the course in October, 2009 she had shortage of attendance of 30.5 days. However it appears that she was permitted to appear in the examination on the basis that the shortage was only of 20.5 days. Her results were withheld and subsequently on coming to know that the shortage of attendance was 30.5 days she attended the classes for 10 days. According to the petitioner now her shortage is within the condonable limits and therefore her results should be declared and it is with this prayer the writ petition is filed. 2. In my view the prayer sought for cannot be granted. A student who has shortage of attendance has to necessarily make up the shortage in the subsequent academic years and only thereafter, can appear for the University examination. In this case even according to the petitioner by attending the classes in the subsequent academic year, she has only made up the shortage and the shortage still remains to be condoned. W.P(C) No. 25095 of 2011 2 Therefore, in so far as the petitioner is concerned going by her own showing the delay should be condoned and thereafter she should appear for the examination afresh. In the circumstances the relief sought for cannot be granted and the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE rkc //True copy// PA to Judge
