M.RAJAGOPALAN NAIR, SC, KERALA UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 33599 of 2010 Y ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 9th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are students of the TKM Engineering College, Kollam. Their grievance is that the 7th semester examination is to commence on 10-11-2010. According to the petitioners, they have shortage of attendance and that they made an application to the fifth respondent for condonation of the same. It is stated that the fifth respondent has refused to forward their applications to the University. In these circumstances, the writ petition was filed. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission on 08-11-2010, considering the paucity of time, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the University was asked to obtain instructions in the matter. Accordingly, he has obtained instructions and submits that it was because the shortage of attendance was beyond the condonable limits, that the fifth respondent declined to forward the application to the W.P.(C) No.33599/10 : 2 : University. 3. In the matter of condonation of attendance, the same is regulated by the Rules of the University. If as stated by the learned Standing Counsel, the shortage of attendance is beyond the limits of condonation, the Principal cannot be faulted for not having forwarded the application to the University. In these circumstances, I do not find any merit in the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
